Path Musculoskeletal 1 & 2 Flashcards
All Diseases in these 2 modules
1) Behcet’s
2) Sjogren’s Syndrome
3) Reactive Arthritis
4) Temporal Arteritis
5) Osteogenesis Imperfecta
6) Fibrous Dysplasia
7) Paget’s Disease of Bone
8) Osteopetrosis
Chronic disease consisting of inflammatory lesions of multiple systems
Behcet’s
Clinical features of Behcet’s
a) Oral and Genital Ulcers
b) Ocular Inflammation (hypopyon - pus in anterior chamber)
c) Skin Lesion
d) CNS involvement (paralysis, dementia)
What disease has an association with HLA-B51 (middle aged women)
Behcets
Diagnosis of Behcets
Complicated combination of clinical findings
Treatment of Behcets
Steroids and Immunosuppressive drugs (b/c both deal with inflammation)
Prognosis of Behcets
Depends on involvement
- CNS involvement = poor prognosis
M or F get behcets more?
Middle aged women
Apthous ulcers
canker sores
Females get apthous ulcer more than men (T/F)
True
where do apthous ulcers occur
Unattached mucosa (not the gingiva)
how do apthous ulcers differ from intraoral herpes?
Apthous ulcers - unattached mucosa
Intraoral Herpes - attached mucosa (usually)
Sjogren Syndrome
Autoimmune disease affecting salivary, lacrimal and other glands
- Cell-mediated and Humoral immunity involved
What syndrome does Sjogren syndrome lead to?
Sicca Syndrome
What is sicca syndrome
Hyposalivation (xerostomia)
Hypolacrimation (xerophthalmia)
what can xerophthalmia from hypolacrimation lead to
Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (eye damage)
M or F more likely to get sjogren syndrome?
Female
Primary Sjogren Syndrome
With no other autoimmune diseases
Secondary Sjogren Syndrome
In combo with other autoimmune diseases
Oral manifestations of Sjogren Syndrome
- Xerostomia (lymphocytes destroyed salivary glands)
- Sandy mouth feeling
- cracked lips
- Papillary atrophy of tongue (beefy red tongue)
- higher rates of caries, periodontal disease, Candidiasis
Extraoral manifestations of Sjogrens Syndrome
A) Enlarged Parotid Glands (50% of pts)
B) Xerophthalmia (keratoconjuctivitis)
- Burning, itching, photophobia, damage to cornea
C) Raynaud Phenomenon
D) Others
- Myalgia (Pain),
- Arthalgia (Joint Stiffness)
- Chronic Fatigue
What is Raynaud Phenomenon in Sjogren Syndrome?
Transient vasocontriciton of digits leading to:
a) Reduced blood flow
b) Pallor
c) Pain
Induced by:
a) Cold
b) Emotional Stress
Seen in other autoimmune diseases too
Laboratory Findings
A) Rheumatoid Factor
- IgM to IgG
B) Sjogren Specific Abs
- Anti-SS A (Anti-Ro)
- Anti-SS N (Anti-La)
Diagnosis of Sjogren Syndrome
ID’ing combo of signs and symptoms of disease
May include:
- Biopsy of Minor salivary glands
- Sialography (x-ray of salivary gland or ducts) FRUIT LAIDEN BRANCHLESS TREE with technitium-99 pertechnetate
Treatment of Sjogren Syndrome
a) saliva/tear substitutes (usually not enough)
b)Meds:
- Steroid/Immunosuppressive Drugs
c) Oral Hygiene (Fluoride)
Prognosis of Sjogren Syndrome
heightened risk of other autoimmune diseases and LYMPHOMA
Why does sjogren syndrome lead to higher risk of lymphoma
Very high turnover of lymphocytes (autoimmune) so lots of synthesis and mitosis which equals higher change of mutations
Reactive Arthritis
Constellation comprised of
- Conjunctivitis
- Urethritis
- Arthritis
*May not have all 3 findings
Trick to remember Reactive arthritis
Cant see, pee, or climb a tree
