seronegative spondyloarthropathies Flashcards
what are the seronegative spondyloarthropathies
group of -inflammatory joint diseases that share the HLA-B27 antigen and are negative RF and ACPA
5 seronegative spondyloarthropathies
ank spond axial spond reactive arthritis psoriatic arthritis arthropathy assoc. to IBD
pathogenesis of seronegative spondyloarthropathies
inflammatory enthesitis
and synovitis
what type of arthritis are ss
asymmetrical
oligoarthritis
extra-articular features of SS 9
- mucosal inflammation
- conjunctivitis
- urethritis
- nail dystrophy
- uveitis
- erythema nodosum
- psoriasis
- IBD
- aortic incompetence
what joint is predominantly affected by ank spond
sacroiliac joint progresses to bony fusion of spine
ank spond name for fusion of bony spine
bamboo spine
male to female ratio for ank spond and age of onset
3:1
Often young males in teens to early 20s
Rare after 50
clinical features of ank spond -bone
lower back pain early morning stiffness worse on inactivity relieved by movement reduced lumbar motion fatigue kyphosis
extra-articular features of ank spond 8
dactylitis uveitis conjunctivits aortic incompetence urethritis amyloidosis tendonitis of achilles and plantar
how many ank spond % have peripheral arthritis and what joints
40%
large joints
asymmetrical
10% have peripheral before spinal
disease score for ank spond and components
BASDAI-bath
- fatigue /`10
- pain/10
- pain and swelling of other joints /10
- level of discomfort from tender areas /10
- discomfort from wake up time /10
- morning stiffness last 0-2 hrs
difference in diagnosis of axial and ank spond
axial=sacroilitis on mri only not on x-ray
ank spond= bilateral sarcroilitis on x-ray
diagnosis of ank spond and axial spond criteria
back pain >3 months improved by exercise not relieved by resr insidious onset night pain (>45 for axial)
differences between axial and ank spond
- axial responds to nsaid not ank
- no fhx for ank spond
biomarkers for ank spond
esr and crp raised
negative antibodies
hla b 27
x-ray signs of ank spond in sc joint 3
loss of cortical margins
widening of joint space
sclerosis
joint space narrowing and fusion
x-ray of ank spond thoracolumbars spine 3 signs
- ant. squarring of veretbrae due to erosion
- bridging syndesmophytes-calcification bony growth into intervetebral joint space into the ligament
- ossification of ant. longitudinal ligament= bamboo spine
