inflammatory joint diseases part 1 Flashcards
what are some general assumptions you can make about inflammatory joint diseases?
produce pannus
increased ESR
must be Xrayed
what are the seropositive types?
RA SLE Sceroderma Jaccoud's Sjorgren's
what are the seronegative types?
AS
Reactive arthritis
Psoriatic arthritis
Enteropathic arthritis
what is the most common seropositive type?
RA
what is the most common seronegative?
AS
RA generalizations
generalized CT autoimmune disease
IgM-anti-IgG
IgG-anti-IgG
involving synovial tissue resulting in polyarticular joint inflammation
define pannus
inflammatory hyperplastic synovitis
which gender is typically associated with RA?
female, 20-60
other body systems involved in RA
heart lungs small blood vessels NS eyes reticuloendothelial system
clinical features of FA
young to middle aged females 3:1 elevated ESR 70-80% +Rh \+ANA C reactive protein normocytic normochromic anemia bilateral symmetry and progressive nature leading to deformity
terms associated with RA
arthritis mutilans baker's cyst boutonniere deformity felty's syndrome haygarth's nodes jelling phenomena rheumatoid nodule swan neck deformity dot-dash appearance marginal erosion
arthritis mutilans
severe joint deformity destruction
baker’s cyst
englargement of the gastrocneumius bursa
boutonniere deformity
PIP flexion
DIP extension
felty’s syndrome
leukopenia, splenomegaly, RA
haygarth’s nodes
soft tissue swelling at the MCP
jelling phenomena
stiff joint after inactivity
rheumatoid nodule
accumulation of inflammatory cells with necrotic area and fibrosis seen on extensor surfaces
swan neck deformity
flexion of DIP and extension of PIP
marginal erosion
rat bite, bocket erosions localized loss of intraarticular cortex adjacent to the casular insertion due to pannus erosion at the anatomical bare area
pathological changes occur where in RA?
joints
bursa
tendon sheaths
they are distinct on a radiograph
