Abstract

A 23-year-old housewife admitted to hospital complained swelling, pain and skin color changes in both hands, and generalized arthralgia and myalgia. She had a butterfly malar rash, puffy hands, arthritis affecting the right second and third proximal interphalangeal and left knee joints. Anti-nuclear antibody was positive, anti-ribosomal nuclear protein antibody titer was found to be increased, C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were slightly higher. Mixed connective tissue disease was diagnosed on the basis of the findings of synovitis, Raynaud's phenomenon and positive anti-ribosomal nuclear protein antibody and the patient was administered on a combination of oral prednisolone and methotrexate. After one year, a significant increase in the serum free T3 and free T4 and a suppression in thyroid stimulating hormone levels were noted. Both anti-microsomal and anti-thyroglobulin antibodies were also found to be increased. Thyroid scintigraphy with Tc-99 pertecnatat revealed a diffuse uptake pattern. The patient was diagnosed with Graves' disease and treated with anthythyroid drugs for 6 months and then radioactive iodine-131 ablation. In conclusion, here we report a case with mixed connective tissue disease associated with Graves' disease which is an uncommon data in literature.

Özet

23 yaşında ev hanımı olan hasta her iki elde şişlik, ağrı, renk değişikliği, jeneralize artralji ve miyalji şikayetleri ile polikliniğimize başvurdu. Hastada kelebek raş, her iki el sırtında şişlik, sağ el 2. ve 3. proksimal interfalangeal eklemde ve sol diz ekleminde artrit vardı. Antinükleer antikor pozitifti, antiribozomal nükleer protein antikor titresi artmıştı. C reaktif protein ve eritrosit sedimentasyon hızı hafif yükselmişti. Sinovit, Raynaud fenomeni ve anti-ribonükleer protein pozitifliği göz önüne alınarak mikst konnektif doku hastalığı tanısı kondu ve hastaya oral prednisolon ve methotrexate tedavisi başlandı. Bir sene sonra serum serbest T3 ve serbest T4 değerlerinde yükselme ve tiroid stimulan hormon seviyelerinde düşüş tespit edildi. Antimikrozomal ve antitiroglobulin antikorları yüksek saptandı. Tc-99 ile yapılan sintigrafide diffüz tutulum mevcuttu. Bu bulgularla hastaya Graves hastalığı tanısı konarak propiltiyourasil ve propranolol tedavisi başlandı ve 6. ayda radyoaktif iyot ile ablasyon yapıldı. Bu makalede, mikst konnektif doku hastalığı ile birlikte Graves hastalığı olan bir olgu rapor edilmiş ve bu konu ile ilgili literatür gözden geçirilmiştir.
