Identification of a novel candidate locus for juvenile idiopathic arthritis at 14q13.2 in the Latvian population by association analysis with microsa…

2010

To identify novel juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) susceptibility loci, a 270 kb genomic region encompassing FAM177A1, KIAA0391, and PSMA6 genes was genotyped in 97 oligoarthritis (JIoA) and 50 polyarthritis (JIpA) patients and 230 individuals without autoimmune disorders by five microsatellites (MS) previously described as HSMS markers of the 14q13.2 region. Direct sequencing revealed two variable components of the (CAA)(n)(A)(m) motif in HSMS602 marker (FAM177A1 gene). Repeat (AC)(5)AT(AC)(n) of the HSMS701 (KIAA0391 gene) was variable in the Latvian population only in its downstream part. Allele (AC)(5)AT(AC)(15) of HSMS701 was found to be strongly associated with JIA (p = 4.91 x 10(-…

Spätsynovektomie des Ellenbogens und Resektion des Radiusköpfchens bei chronischer Polyarthritis

2008

Between 1974 and 1984 16 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, who had elbow synovectomy and excision of the radial head, were revised with an average follow-up of 5 years after operation. Resection of the radial head was performed on 16 elbows, in 3 elbows the ulnar nerve was transposed. The indication for the operation were pain, swelling, warmth and radiological destruction. The parameters used, to assess efficacy of the operation were range of motion, local finding and patient satisfaction. Synovectomy results were good especially in respect of relief of pain and range of motion. The good results justify elbow synovectomy even in the late stages of disease.

Extrahepatic Manifestations of Chronic HCV

2011

A number of extrahepatic manifestations have been reported in patients infected with HCV. The most prominent of theme are MC vasculitis, lymphoproliferative malignancies, renal disease, polyarthritis, thyroid and glucose disorders. Although these conditions might have a substantial impact on morbidity, patient management, and prognosis, for most of them the exact mechanisms underlying their development require further elucidation.

Ebola Virus Disease Complicated by Late-Onset Encephalitis and Polyarthritis, Sierra Leone

2016

To the Editor: Ebola virus (EBOV) disease is usually an acute illness, but increasing evidence exists of persistent infections and post-Ebola syndromes. We report a case of EBOV encephalitis.

FRI0504 Prognostic Factors of Adult Onset Still's Disease: Analysis of 100 Cases in 3 Tertiary Referral Centers

2016

Background Adult onset Still9s disease (AOSD) is rare inflammatory disease [1]. Three different patterns of AOSD have been identified: i. monocyclic pattern, characterized by a systemic single episode; ii. polycyclic pattern, associated with multiple flares, separated by remissions; iii. chronic pattern, related to a persistently active disease with associated polyarthritis [2]. Until now, the treatment of AOSD remains largely empirical, lacking controlled clinical trials [1]. Objectives We aimed to investigate clinical data of AOSD patients and any possible correlation among these features and the outcome of patients. Methods Clinical data of 100 AOSD patients were recorded. All patients f…

Usefulness of routine hepatitis C and hepatitis B serology in the diagnosis of recent-onset arthritis. Systematic prospective screening in all patien…

Ansemant, Thiphaine | Ornetti, Paul | Garrot, Jean-Francois | Pascaud, Francoise | Tavernier, Christian | Maillefert, Jean-Francis; International audience; ''Objective: Previous studies evaluating the usefulness of systematic screening for hepatitis B and C in patients with recent-onset arthritis suffered from a major bias since they were conducted in hospitals. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the relevance of such screening, performed by hospital and office-based rheumatologists of a defined area, in the diagnosis of arthritis or inflammatory polyarthralgia of less than 1 year duration. Methods: The CRRRI is a network which includes most hospital and office-based rheumat…

Phenotypic variability and disparities in treatment and outcomes of childhood arthritis throughout the world: an observational cohort study

2019

Made available in DSpace on 2019-10-05T16:54:20Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-04-01 IRCCS Istituto Giannina Gaslini Background To our knowledge, the characteristics and burden of childhood arthritis have never been studied on a worldwide basis. We aimed to investigate, with a cross-sectional study, the prevalence of disease categories, treatment methods, and disease status in patients from across different geographical areas and from countries with diverse wealth status. Methods In this multinational, cross-sectional, observational cohort study, we asked international paediatric rheumatologists from specialised centres to enrol children with a diagnosis of juvenile …

2004

Children with rheumatic oligoarthritis and polyarthritis frequently establish persistent parvovirus B19 infections that may be associated with the production of antiphospholipid antibodies (anti-PL IgG). In this study we analysed the influence of high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy on virus load, on the level of anti-PL IgG and its potential capacity to improve the patients' clinical status. Four juvenile patients with long-lasting polyarticular rheumatic diseases and persistent parvovirus B19 infection, associated in three cases with the presence of antibodies against β2-glycoprotein I (anti-β2GPI IgG), were treated with two cycles of IVIG on five successive days (0.4 g/kg …

OP0113 Lyme arthritis in southern norway - an endemic area for lyme borreliosis

2013

Background Southern Norway is an endemic area for Lyme borreliosis. IgG antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato ( Bb ) has been found in approx. 20% of the population (1). The main attention in Norway has been on neuroborreliosis (2). Despite the fact that arthritis is a well-known manifestation of Bb infection there is a lack of data on Lyme arthritis (LA). Objectives To characterize patients suggestive of having LA in southern Norway. Methods According to protocol patients aged 18 years or older with arthritis with a positive serology for Bb infection (IgG and/or IgM) suspicious of having LA were consecutively recruited either from general practitioners or from our own departme…
