  • Is Palindromic Rheumatism Amongst Children a Benign Disease? Yonatan Butbul-Aviel1,2,3, Yosef Uziel4,5, Nofar Hezkelo4, Riva Brik1,2,3,4 and Gil Amarilyo4,6*
    Butbul-Aviel et al. Pediatric Rheumatology (2018) 16:12 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12969-018-0227-z RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Is palindromic rheumatism amongst children a benign disease? Yonatan Butbul-Aviel1,2,3, Yosef Uziel4,5, Nofar Hezkelo4, Riva Brik1,2,3,4 and Gil Amarilyo4,6* Abstract Background: Palindromic rheumatism is an idiopathic, periodic arthritis characterized by multiple, transient, recurring episodes. Palindromic rheumatism is well-characterized in adults, but has never been reported in pediatric populations. The aim of this study was to characterize the clinical features and outcomes of a series of pediatric patients with palindromic rheumatism. Methods: We defined clinical criteria for palindromic rheumatism and reviewed all clinical visits in three Pediatric Rheumatology centers in Israel from 2006through 2015, to identify patients with the disease. We collected retrospective clinical and laboratory data on patients who fulfilled the criteria, and reviewed their medical records in order to determine the proportion of patients who had developed juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Results: Overall, 10 patients were identified. Their mean age at diagnosis was 8.3 ± 4.5 years and the average follow-up was 3.8 ± 2.7 years. The mean duration of attacks was 12.2 ± 8.4 days. The most frequently involved joints were knees. Patients tested positive for rheumatoid factor in 20% of cases. One patient developed polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis after three years of follow-up, six patients (60%) continued to have attacks at their last follow-up and only three children (30%) achieved long-term remission. Conclusions: Progression to juvenile idiopathic arthritis is rare amongst children with palindromic rheumatism and most patients continued to have attacks at their last follow-up.

  • Septic Arthritis of the Sternoclavicular Joint
    J Am Board Fam Med: first published as 10.3122/jabfm.2012.06.110196 on 7 November 2012. Downloaded from BRIEF REPORT Septic Arthritis of the Sternoclavicular Joint Jason Womack, MD Septic arthritis is a medical emergency that requires immediate action to prevent significant morbidity and mortality. The sternoclavicular joint may have a more insidious onset than septic arthritis at other sites. A high index of suspicion and judicious use of laboratory and radiologic evaluation can help so- lidify this diagnosis. The sternoclavicular joint is likely to become infected in the immunocompromised patient or the patient who uses intravenous drugs, but sternoclavicular joint arthritis in the former is uncommon. This case series describes the course of 2 immunocompetent patients who were treated conservatively for septic arthritis of the sternoclavicular joint. (J Am Board Fam Med 2012;25: 908–912.)

  • Adult Still's Disease
    44 y/o male who reports severe knee pain with daily fevers and rash. High ESR, CRP add negative RF and ANA on labs. Edward Gillis, DO ? Adult Still’s Disease Frontal view of the hands shows severe radiocarpal and intercarpal joint space narrowing without significant bony productive changes. Joint space narrowing also present at the CMC, MCP and PIP joint spaces. Diffuse osteopenia is also evident. Spot views of the hands after Tc99m-MDP injection correlate with radiographs, showing significantly increased radiotracer uptake in the wrists, CMC, PIP, and to a lesser extent, the DIP joints bilaterally. Tc99m-MDP bone scan shows increased uptake in the right greater than left shoulders, as well as bilaterally symmetric increased radiotracer uptake in the elbows, hands, knees, ankles, and first MTP joints. Note the absence of radiotracer uptake in the hips. Patient had bilateral total hip arthroplasties. Not clearly evident are bilateral shoulder hemiarthroplasties. The increased periprosthetic uptake could signify prosthesis loosening. Adult Stills Disease Imaging Features • Radiographs – Distinctive pattern of diffuse radiocarpal, intercarpal, and carpometacarpal joint space narrowing without productive bony changes. Osseous ankylosis in the wrists common late in the disease. – Joint space narrowing is uniform – May see bony erosions. • Tc99m-MDP Bone Scan – Bilaterally symmetric increased uptake in the small and large joints of the axial and appendicular skeleton. Adult Still’s Disease General Features • Rare systemic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology • 75% have onset between 16 and 35 years • No gender, race, or ethnic predominance • Considered adult continuum of JIA • Triad of high spiking daily fevers with a skin rash and polyarthralgia • Prodromal sore throat is common • Negative RF and ANA Adult Still’s Disease General Features • Most commonly involved joint is the knee • Wrist involved in 74% of cases • In the hands, interphalangeal joints are more commonly affected than the MCP joints.
