[A progressive systemic sclerosis like disease due to anticonvulsive therapy? (author's transl)].
Two cases are presented which have been treated anticonvulsively for many years - especially with Phenytoin and Mephenytoin. The clinical syndrom as well as the changes of the connective tissue show transitions of Progressive systemic sklerosis (PSS) to systemic Lupus Erythematodes (SLE) and Dermatomyositis. The correlation with the therapy is reflected in consideration of immunological phenomenons.
