Inflammatory Flashcards
rheumatoid types
seropositive
rheumatoid variants
seronegative
generalized connective tissue autoimmune disease involving synovial tissue resulting in polyarticular joint inflammation
RA
most common inflammatory arthritis
RA
what is the prevalence for RA
20-60 years - females > males
characterized by bilateral symmetry and progressive nature leading to deformity
RA
when testing, what is RA positive and negative for
(+) RA factor
severe joint disease/deformity
arthritis mutilans
enlargement of the gastrocnemius bursa
baker’s cyst
PIP flexion, DIP extension
boutonniere deformity
leukopenia, splenomegaly, RA
felty’s syndrome
soft tissue swelling at MCP
haygarth’s nodes
stiff joints after inactivity
jelling phenomena
accumulation of inflammatory cells, with necrotic area and fibrosis seen on extensor surfaces
rheumatoid nodule
flexion of DIP and extension of PIP
swan neck deformity
intermitten absence of the articular cortex due to erosion
dot-dash appearance
rat bite, pocket erosions localized loss of intra-articular cortex adjacent to the capsular insertion due to pannus erosion at the anatomical bare area
margina erosion
vascular granulation tissue that spreads over the intra-articular surfaces of the bone and cartilage
pannus
occular complications such as lacrimal gland atrophy which leads to dry eyes is characteristic of
RA
to be diagnosed with RA 4 of the following must be present
- morning stiffness for at least 6 weeks
most common sites of involvement for RA
NAME?
a synovial cyst that extends into soft tissues posterior to the knee
baker’s cyst
most common cause of upper cervical neurological symptoms
atlanto-axial impaction from RA
where does RA erosion affect the dens
NAME?
cranial settling is an effect of RA, what is it
NAME?
still’s disease
juvenile chronic arthritis (juvenile RA)
onset of RA at less than 16 years old
still’s disease
loosely attached periosteum in children
periostisis
symptoms of JCA
hands - periostitis and shortening
generalized seropositive connective tissue disorder involving multiple organs, most common in females, elevated ESR and ANA positive
systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE)
butterfly rash
systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE)
most frequent and serious feature of SLE
kidney involvement leading to nephropathy and renal failure
administration of steroids as a treatment for SLE may lead to
NAME?
radiographic changes of SLE
NAME?
how does SLE affect the hands
NAME?
how does SLE affect the spine
increase ADI in about 8.5%
disorder following rheumatic fever and multiple connective tissue disorders
jaccoud’s arthropathy
antecedent strep. pharyngitis
jaccoud’s arthropathy
transitory and migrating arthralgia, myalgia, weight loss and residual mitral valve disease
jaccoud’s arthropathy
marked by non-erosive, reversible joint deformity
jaccoud’s arthropathy
how does jaccoud’s affect the hands and feet
NAME?
generalized systemic inflammatory connective tissue disorder involving skin, lungs, GI tract, kidneys and musculoskeletal system
progressive systemic sclerosis
cutaneous manifestation of progressive systemic sclerosis
scleroderma
