Polymyositis in Chagas's disease.
Polymyositis marked the clinical onset of Chagas's disease in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis. This is unusual, although clinically unimportant muscle involvement in trypanosomiasis has been described. The plasma cell infiltrate and vascular deposition of IgM and C3 suggest that the humoral immune system may play a role in the pathogenesis of chagasic polymyositis. It is not known whether the rheumatoid diseases predisposed to the polymyositis.

Protein-losing enteropathy in systemic lupus erythematosus.
We describe a 23-year old Brazilian woman with systemic lupus erythematosus and protein-losing enteropathy. Small intestinal biopsy revealed lymphangiectasia. Protein-losing enteropathy responded to corticosteroid therapy and should be suspected in cases of systemic lupus erythematosus with hypoalbuminemia without proteinuria and liver failure. A review of the English literature is presented with comments on pathogenesis.
