highlights for Juvenile idiopathic arthritis
- before 16
- lasts at least 6 weeks
- more common in large joints
- Absent RF and rheumatoid nodules
- ANA+
Seronegative spondyloarthropathies are pathologic changes of what?
Give the general highlights
ligamentous attachments, not synovium
- SI joints
- Absence of RF
- HLA-B27 association
what are the seronegative spondyloarthropathies?
- Ankylosing spondylitis
- Reactive arthritis
- Enteritis associated arthritis
- Psoriatic arthritis
arthritis + non-gonococcal urethritis or cervicitis + conjunctivitis
reactive arthritis
what probably causes reactive arthritis
autoimmune reaction initiated by prior infection of GU system by chlamydia
clinical finding in reactive arthritis
- synovitis of digital tendon sheath–>sausage finger/toe
- ossification of tendoligamentous insertion sites –>calcaneal spurs/bony outgrowths
- Extraarticular findings: conjunctivitis, inflammatory balanitis, aortic regurg
