B6.037 Oligoarthritis Flashcards
definition of oligoarthritis
1-4 joints not just arthritis; inflammation/synovitis is present >6 weeks duration almost always asymmetric lower extremity predominant
what is JIA
juvenile idiopathic arthritis
age of JIA patients
<6
especially 1-4 years
race of JIA patients
typically white
northern European
different courses of JIA after 6 months
first 6 months: 1-4 joints
persistent (50%) = stays 4 or less
extended (50%) = >4 joints after 6 months
sex of JIA patients
3:1 girls: boys
in Asia, more boys
negative blood tests in JIA
RF
IgG anti-CCP (ACPA)
blood tests that has 8% chance of being positive in JIA
HLA-B27
prevalence in the general white population
autoantibody positive in 75-85% of JIA patients
ANA
common joints affected by JIA
knee > ankle > others
what might be an associated skin complication of JIA?
psoriasis
esp if the patient has wrist involvement
what is the uveal tract
pigmented part of the eye
choroid, ciliary body, and iris
symptoms of acute anterior uveitis
pain
photophobia
blurred vision
redness
in which JIA patients would you expect ocular inflammation
ANA+
oligoarticular-onset
25% get inflammatory eye disease, but few present with symptoms
what monitoring is done for patients with ANA+, oligoarticular onset, LE predominant arthritis
slit lap screening
do ANA- JIA patients have ocular involvement
no often
potential long term ocular complications in ANA+ JIA patients
synechiae
cataracts
glaucoma
band keratopathy
what is synechiae
iris attaches to cornea or attaches to lens
initial pharmacotherapy for JIA
intra articular glucocorticoid
second step of therapy for JIA
NSAIDs motrin = ibuprofen Naprosyn = naproxen tolectin = tolmetin Mobic = meloxicam Celebrex = celecoxib
third step of therapy for JIA
methotrexate
TNF a or abatacept
-cept suffix meaning
protected from rapid degradation by attachment to Fc receptor
6 forms of JIA
- PsA (2-15%)
- systemic onset (10-15%) Stills
- RF+ polyarticular onset (5-10%)
- RF- polyarticular onset (10-30%)
- HLA-B27+ oligoarticular onset
- ANA+ oligoarticular onset (30-60%)
what is PsA
psoriatic arthritis
