Rheum #3 Flashcards
What are the 4 seronegative arthropathies
AS
Psoriatic arthritis
Reactive arthritis
Enteropathic arthritis
4 commonalities in seronegative rheumatic diseasd
1) negative RF test and ANA
2) predilection for spin
3) SI joint involvement
4) Association with HLA-B27
common S&S for ankylosing spondylitis
chronic inflammation, often associated with enthesitis
often young males (3:1 ratio for men under 40)
and 90-90% have HLA-B27
Rule of 2s for Ankylosing Spondylitis
0.2% of gen pop
2% of HLA-B27 positive individuals
20% of HLA-B27 positive indiivduals with affected family member
Ankylosing Spondylitis clinical presentation
mid and lower back stiffness, with morning stiffness lasting longer than 1 hour
night pain that is worse in the second half of the night.
Increasesd occiput to walld istance (because increased thoracic kyphosis and increased cervical flexion?)`
What ortho test for …AS?
FABER test for SI joint pain (commonly seen in AS patients I suppose?)
Modified Schober test (less than 5cm increase can be indicative of AS)
increased occiput to wall distance (>5cm)
Peripheral S&S for AS
asymmetrical large joint arthritis, and enthesitis.
extra-articular manigestations for AS
Opthalmic : acute anterior uveitis
Gastro: IBD (Ulcerative colitis)
Investigations for AS (special tests)
x-ray for SI (bony fusion(late) and symmetric sacroilitis)
x-ray for Bamboo spine
MRI (gold standard)
HLA-B27
big general 5 of psoriatic arthritis ***
asymmetric Olgioarthritis (<5 small and/or large joints)
- arhtritis of DIp w/ nail changes
- symmetric polyarthritis (like RA)
- Sarcoilitis
- Arthritis Mutilans (destructive and deforming small joint polyarthritis)
msk signs and symptoms of psoriatic arthritis (3)
morning stiffness >30 min
dactylitis (painful digits)
enthesopathy
Psoriatic Arthritis dermatology
- well-demarcated ertyhematous plaques with silvery scale
- nail involvement: pitting, transverse or longitudinal ridging, discoloration, subungual hyperketarosis, onycholysis, oil drops
Opthalmic cue in psoriatic arthritis
conjunctivity and iritis (anterior uveitis)
Classic imaging sign on psoriatic arthritis
pencil in a cup deformity of fingers
CASPAR classification of psoriatic arthritis (5, how many do u need to be pos)
evidence of psoriasis (current, past, family)
- psoriatic nail dystrophy
- negative Rheum Factor
- Dactylitis
- Radiological Evidence
patient must have at least 3
