Objectives To characterise peripheral musculoskeletal involvement in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA) including psoriatic arthritis (PsA), across the world. Methods Cross-sectional study 24 participating countries. Patients a diagnosis of axial SpA (axSpA), (pSpA) or PsA according to their rheumatologist were included. The investigators asked which out list six (axSpA, PsA, pSpA, inflammatory bowel disease-associated SpA, reactive juvenile (Juv-SpA)) fitted patient best. Peripheral...
SAPHO (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis) syndrome is a rare autoinflammatory condition describing the constellation of inflammatory skin, bone, joint manifestations which result in diagnostic difficulty therapeutic challenge. Here, we present case young male diagnosed with osteoarticular cutaneous involvement from an early age his life. He suffered challenges for long time was hence inadequately treated. had minimal response to conventional DMARDs but showed excellent...
Abstract Objectives To investigate the differences in clinical presentation, disease activity, HLA-B27 positivity nr-axSpA and AS. Methods Prospective observational study conducted tertiary care centre from India. Total 125 consecutive patients with chronic low backache were screened,96 fulfilling ASAS criteria for axial SpA included grouped into radiographic (AS) (n = 55) non-radiographic (n = 41) SpA. Demographic, clinical, activity functional indices, ESR noted group. HLA B27 testing was...
Objective To identify clusters of peripheral involvement according to the specific location manifestations (ie, arthritis, enthesitis and dactylitis) in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA) including psoriatic arthritis (PsA), evaluate whether these correspond clinical diagnosis a rheumatologist. Methods Cross-sectional study 24 participating countries. Consecutive diagnosed by their rheumatologist as PsA, axial SpA or were enrolled. Four different cluster analyses conducted: one using...
Benign joint hypermobility (BJH) is a clinical condition characterized by an increased ability of joints during passive and dynamic movements. In this study new diagnostic criteria for generalized in children has been proposed compared with the Beighton criteria.Two hundred from 3 to 16 years age were included. 100 BJH (according criteria) equal number sex matched controls. The separately examined two qualified pediatric rheumatologists score was calculated twice. Then examinations performed...
Gout affecting multiple organs and tissues is characterized by the deposition of tophi in subcutaneous tissues, joints, tendons, kidneys, myocardium, heart valves, auricular cartilage, spinal cord, eyes. There are very few case reports involving eye gout usual locations subconjunctiva, medial canthus, cornea. 1, 2, 3 A 50-year-male, diabetic, with inflammatory polyarthritis was referred from Ophthalmology Department recurrent nodular swellings over both knees (Fig. 1) lateral malleoli 2). He...
Background: Patients with a diagnosis of Spondyloarthritis (SpA) and Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) may have predominant axial or peripheral symptoms, the frequency distribution these symptoms determine clinical by rheumatologist (“clinical clusters”). Clustering analysis represents an unsupervised exploratory which tries to identify homogeneous groups cases (“statistical clusters”) without prior information about membership for any cases. Objectives: To “statistical clusters” involvement...
