Drug-induced lupus erythematosus with in vivo lupus erythematosus cells in pleural fluid.

Pleural involvement in drug-induced lupus erythematosus is not uncommon. Lupus erythematosus cells were found in vivo in the pleural of an elderly patient who had received procainamide (Pronestyl) hydrochloride (2 gm daily) for nine months. Patients who initially have pleural effusions while receiving drugs capable of inducing lupus erythematosus should have the fluid analyzed for lupus erythematosus cells to help clarify the cause of the effusion.

Clinical experience using a small-gauge needle for arterial puncture.

The present study was undertaken to ascertain the feasibility of using a 25-gauge needle for arterial punctures. A total of 11,500 arterial punctures were performed over the past four years by this technique without any major complication. Repeated arterial punctures were well tolerated by all patients, and the necessity for indwelling arterial catheters was almost totally eliminated during this period of study.

Dextran 40: another cause of drug-induced noncardiogenic pulmonary edema.

Drug-induced noncardiogenic pulmonary edema occurred in a previously patient receiving dextran 40. Dextran 40 should be considered another etiologic factor of drug-induced noncardiogenic pulmonary edema when this syndrome occurs in the absence of known precipitating causes such as shock, aspiration, and overwhelming pneumonia.
