Resumo: Uma análise crÃtica sobre a associação lúpus eritematoso sistémico e tuberculose é proposta. à feita uma breve revisão sobre lúpus e sobre prováveis factores que desencadeiam a tuberculose nestes doentes, incluindo tópico sobre proteÃnas de choque térmico da famÃlia HSP 70KDa e HSP65KDa do Mycobacterium tuberculosis e receptores Toll TLR2, TLR4 e TLR9 que podem estar envolvidos na interacção entre antigénio do bacilo e tecido do hospedeiro causando indução autoimune no lúpus. Uma revisão de séries clÃnicas sobre o assunto é mostrada e ressalta as formas extrapulmonares como as mais comuns nestes casos. O autor conclui que diagnóstico precoce e tratamento apropriado são mandatórios em situações nas quais o LES está associado a TB, principalmente em áreas endémicas para esta doença.Rev Port Pneumol 2008; XIV (6): 843-855 Abstract: The author provides a critical analysis of systemic lupus erythematosus associated with tuberculosis. A brief review of the lupus-tuberculosis association is also given, and stresses that extra-pulmonary TB is the most usual form of TB in these cases. Other issues considered are the heat shock proteins of Mycobacterium tuberculosis HSP70KDa and HSP65KDa families and TLR2, TLR4, TLR9 that can be involved in interaction between bacilli antigen and host tissue causing autoimmune induction by lupus. The author concludes that early diagnosis and appropriate management are mandatory in SLE associated with TB, in areas where TB is endemic.Rev Port Pneumol 2008; XIV (6): 843-855 Palavras-chave: Associação LES-TB, revisão de séries clÃnicas, formas extrapulmonares e diagnóstico precoce, Key-words: SLE-TB association, clinical series review, extrapulmonary forms, early diagnosis
