          Abstract

          Presentamos dos pacientes con esclerodermia localizada que desarrollaron trombocitopenia. En uno de los casos se evidenció ana y anticuerpos anti-DNA positivo. La aparición de trombocitopenia en esclerodermia localizada sugiere un mecanismo autoinmune, tanto por la respuesta a esteroides como por la existencia de autoanticuerpos. Esta posible asociación establece la necesidad de buscar alteraciones hematológicas, tanto en la esclerodermia sistémica, como en la localizada.

          Translated abstract

          Two patients are reported with localized scleroderma who developed thrombocytopenia. One of these patients had a positive antinuclear antibody (ana) and Anti-DNA antibodies tests . The ocurrence of thrombocytopenia in localized scleroderma suggests an autoimmune mechanism , by the response to steroids and the presence of positive autoantibodies.This possible association emphasizes the need to look for hematologic disorders in patients with systemic, as well as localized scleroderma.

          Hematologic disease in scleroderma syndromes.

          Review of 4 430 patients with a diagnosis of scleroderma, morphea, or eosinophilic fasciitis has revealed 16 patients with one of a variety of serious hematologic diseases. Although it is not possible to comment on the exact relationship between the dermatologic disease and the hematologic disorder, in seven patients there appeared to be a close temporal relationship between the onset of the two conditions. The development of a serious hematologic disease, especially a lymphoproliferative process, may rarely be seen not only in patients with eosinophilic fasciitis but also in those with systemic or localized scleroderma.

            Localized scleroderma and idiopathic thrombocytopenia.

            Two patients with localized scleroderma who developed thrombocytopenic purpura are reported. In both patients the thrombocytopenia improved after prednisone therapy, and has not recurred in 5 and 8 yr of subsequent observation without steroids. Both patients had a positive antinuclear antibody (ANA) test and 1 had a positive assay for immune complexes by the Clq solid phase radioimmunoassay. Non-immune causes for the lowered platelets were not found. This possible association may add a new, potentially life-threatening dimension to localized scleroderma.
