Isolated schistocytosis is a hematological emergency. Clinically significant schistocytosis requires 1% red cell fragments in a high power field. These include triangular fragments, crescents, helmet cells, keratocytes, or microspherocytes.

This study evaluated the diagnostic value of the automated UF-5000 parameters and compared it with that of aberrant erythrocytes and acanthocytes classified by microscopy for identifying IgA glomerular hematuria to propose a predictive model for clinical use. It also compared correlations between erythrocyte parameters and malformed erythrocytes. Urine samples from 53 biopsy-proven IgA hematuria cases and 143 non-IGA nephropathic hematuria cases as controls were analyzed.

Neurosyphilis with oral‑facial‑lingual dyskinesia: A case report.

Exp Ther Med

November 2023

Department of Spine and Osteopathy Surgery, Guangxi Medical University First Affiliated Hospital, Nanning, Guangxi 530022, P.R. China.

The present study describes the case of a 52-year-old male patient who presented with subacute onset dysarthria and oral-facial-lingual dyskinesia, with normal blood glucose and acanthocyte levels, and no history of drug use. The patient tested negative for autoimmune encephalitis-related antibodies and paraneoplastic-related antibodies. The level of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein was slightly elevated, and the hemagglutination assay and rapid plasma reagin test were positive in both serum and CSF samples.

Renal involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), so-called lupus nephritis (LN), is one of the most frequent organ manifestations with an incidence of approximately 40-60%. It is not uncommon for renal involvement to be the initial manifestation of SLE or to occur in the first 5-10 years after diagnosis of SLE. Urinalysis is useful in screening for the presence of LN, demonstrating proteinuria or active sediment with acanthocytes.

Glomerulonephritis occurs frequently in patients with multisystemic rheumatic disease, especially in collagen vascular disorders and vasculitides. From a clinical point of view nephrotic syndrome has to be distinguished from nephritic syndrome. Rapid deterioration of renal function is referred to as rapid progressive glomerulonephritis.
