RARA
Clinical Features:
The classic picture of symmetrical polyarthritis in a middle-aged female only
occurs in a proportion of cases.
Onset of Disease:
May be acute or insidious, monarticular or polyarticular. Average age of
onset is 40 years. Prodromal constitutional symptoms frequently precede
joint pain and swelling.
1. Typical onset (50%): Gradual development of symmetrical
polyarthritis involving small joints of hands and feet.
2. Acute polyarthritis (10-20%): May be associated with fever,
sweating and leucocytosis.

FEATURES, COMPLICATIONS,
DIAGNOSIS AND PROGNOSIS
3. Acute mono-articular arthritis (~30%): Sudden painful swelling of
large joint may resemble rheumatic fever or atypical gout. 'Arthritis robusta'
is a rare form o RA with proliferative synovitis, subchondrial cysts (like
geodes) and acute onset, seen in manual workers.
4. Chronic mono-articular arthritis: Insidious painful swelling of a large
joint e.g. knee. Disease may remain localized for years: joint biopsy may
then be necessary to differentiate osteoarthritis and tuberculous arthritis.
Onset of Disease (Cont.):
5. Onset with soft-tissue lesion: RA may be heralded by tenosynovitis
'trigger-finger', rotator cuff lesion in shoulder, or carpal tunnel syndrome.
6. Onset with sensory disturbance: Paraesthesiae due to carpal tunnel
syndrome (established by motor and sensory nerve conduction tests). Some
times associated with vasomotor disturbance (e.g. Raynaud's phenomenon),
or no apparent cause. Carpal tunnel syndrome is often an early feature of
RA, occurring in over 20% of patients at some time, especially where wrists
involved (due to associated flexor tenosynovitis).
7. 0nset with visceral disorder: e.g. pleural effusion.

Narrow medial, lateral and PF compartment. Generalized OP. Synovial
cysts (geodes) in the tibial plateau and lateral femoral condyle.
The 1987 ARA revised criteria of RA. It has sensitivity 94% and specificity
89%.
ARA 'exclusions' (any one of which excludes diagnosis of RA) is a
convenient list of conditions which may be confused with the disease.
1. Systemic lupus erythematosus: Arthritis in young female with
severe anaemia and constitutional disturbance, out of proportion to joint
symptoms.
2. Polyarteritis nodosa: Arthritis may resemble RA but radiological
changes are minimal, severe systemic symptoms and evidence of vasculitis
at early stage of disease. (Borderline between 'malignant' RA with
widespread vasculitis and polyarteritis nodosa may be narrow, but joint
erosions and typical rheumatoid deformities are uncommon in the latter).
3. Dermatomyositis: Joint signs are mild, muscle weakness
predominates. Rash is typical.
4. Scleroderma: Typical skin changes, but coexistence with RA is not
uncommon.
5. Rheumatic fever: Main differential features are: migratory joint
involvement myocarditis and/or endocarditis; small subcutaneous nodules
having different histological structure; higher, sustained fever; more specific
Differential Diagnosis of RA
6. Gout: Classical types are straightforward. Acute polyarticular onset of
gout may resemble RA. Response to colchicine is strongly suggestive,
occurrence of tophi are diagnostic, family history and persistently high
serum uric acid level are suggestive.
7. Acute suppurative arthritis: May resemble acute monarticular RA.
Proved by positive synovial fluid culture.
8. Tuberculous arthritis: Often confused with monarticular RA. Synovial
fluid culture only occasionally positive and diagnosis usually rests on
synovial biopsy.
9. Reiter’s syndrome: Presence or history of urethritis and conjunctivitis.
10. Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy: Wrists and ankles involved,
radiograph shows periosteal reaction.
11. Shoulder-hand $ (form of algodystrophy): Swollen, painful hand
resembles RA but frozen shoulder occurs at same time with lack of
constitutional symptoms and normal ESR.
12. Neurogenic arthropathy: Characteristic radiological changes and
associated urological signs.
Differential Diagnosis of RA (Cont.)
13. Ochronotic arthropathy: Homogentisic acid in urine detected on
alkalinization.
14. Sarcoid arthritis: Sarcoid involvement of joints (rare) may resemble
RA but other features of sarcoidosis will be present. Positive Kveim test and
Erythema nodosum and arthritis associated with pulmonary sarcoid
lymphadenopathy) usually involves lower-limb large joints.
15. Myeloma: Increase in plasma cells in marrow, paraprotein or
abnormal immunoglobulin present.
16. Arthritis with erythema nodosum: Usually transient, affecting
joints of lower limb.
17. Arthritis in blood disorders: (especially leukaemia and
haemophilia).
18. Arthritis with hypogammagllobulinemia.
Differential Diagnosis of RA (Cont.)
The following are not in ARA list of 'exclusions' but must also be included in
differential diagnosis:
19. Osteoarthritis: Confusion tends to arise especially in (a) acute
episodes of activity in isolated osteoarthritic joints, (b) acute generalized
osteoarthritis with moderately raised ESR in middle-aged females (rare
condition; many turn out to have RA with or without concomitant
osteoarthritis). Differential points are Joints involved (often terminal
interphalangeal and first carpometacarpal joints of hands), Heberden's
nodes, radiological appearance, and lack of subcutaneous nodules and
rheumatoid factor in osteoarthritis.
20. Spondylitis: Large joint involvement in ankylosing spondylitis is not
uncommon but polyarthritis resembling RA is rare. Subcutaneous nodules
and rheumatoid factor are absent.
21. Psoriatic arthritis: Whereas some cases ('indeterminate type')
resemble RA, the presence of psoriasis in patient or a close relative,
predominant involvement of terminal interphalangeal joints and negative
Rose-Waaler tests are suggestive of this diagnosis.
Differential Diagnosis of RA (Cont.)
22. Arthritis with ulcerative colitis or regional ileitis: Usually large
joints, often with sacro-iliitis.
23. Traumatic arthritis:
24. Polymyalgia rheumatica: Peripheral joint signs are minimal, ESR is
very high, temporal artery biopsy may be normal or reveal arteritis.
However, some cases of RA occurring in the elderly have onset exactly like
polymyalgia.
Differential Diagnosis of RA (Cont.)

cases do very well
Course and Prognosis of RA

(35,0)%
(50,0)%
(10,0)%
Very variable. It is still impossible to predict the outcome of a
case of RA will any degree of certainty. Periods of
exacerbation and remission are the rule.
10% progress
relentlessly towards
marked disability.
50% have persistent activity
with remissions and
exacerbations, with some
deformity.
(5% remit with no
sequelae
35% remit with mild or
moderate sequelae).
I- Mode of onset: Acute onset is usually favorable, insidious onset less
favorable.
2- Sex: Males tend to do better than females. Exception is symmetrical,
insidious arthritis in males which nearly always has a poor prognosis.
3- Age: RA developing in the elderly presenting with large-joint pain and
stiffness resembling polymyalgia tends to do well.
4- Initial joint involvement: Monarticular and atypical cases with
asymmetrical onset in large joints do well.
5- Underweight: weakness and severe limitation of function at onset
herald poor prognosis.
6- High ESR and low haemoglobin: at onset suggest poor
prognosis. Initially high; serum ferritin concentrations are associated with
systemic disease.
Prognostic Factors of RA
7- Persistent rheumatoid activity for more than a year:
uncontrolled by treatment, denotes poor outlook.
8- Early erosive changes: (e.g. within a year of onset) suggest poor
prognosis.
9- Serology: Seronegative cases are thought to have a more favorable
first year after onset. Systemic lesions, particularly vasculitis, are usually
associated with severe seropositive disease.
10- HLA antigens: HLA-DR2 correlates with less severe cases, HLA-
DR3 with severe cases and vasculitis (but not necessarily with
seropositivity).
11- Extra-articular manifestations:
Note:
Death directly related to rheumatoid disease is not common, but may
occur due to a complication such as amyloid, cervical spine subluxation,
or vasculitis. Patients with severe disease tend to die 10 or more years
prematurely, in females, and 4 years in men.

Definition:
Metabolic disorder of purine metabolism
characterized by hyperuricaemia and recurring
attacks of arthritis, and in later stages chronic
arthritis, tophi formation and a tendency to renal
failure.
Classification:

A) Impaired uric acid excretion,
B) Overproduction of urate.
1- Gout (Podagra)
Classification (Cont.):
2. Secondary gout (5% of cases):
A) Due to overproduction of uric acid; occurs in:
2.1 Myeloproliferative disorders: (e.g. polycythaemia,
leukaemia, myeloma, reticuloses). Increased nucleoprotein turnover.
2.2 Specific enzyme deficiencies: Several rare congenital.
disorders now identified, e.g. HGPRT deficiency (Lesch-Nyhan $), PRPP
synthetase excess, glucose-6-phosphatase deficiency.
2.3 During treatment of severe pernicious anaemia:

breakdown.
Gout (Podagra)
Classification (Cont.):
B) Due to under-excretion of uric acid occurs in:
2.4 Chronic renal failure (n.b. rarely): Blood urate does
not rise until GFR falls to below 10ml/min.
2.5 Certain drugs: Salicylates (in low doses), thiazides
other diuretics (except triamterene), pyrazinamide, adrenaline,
alcohol, sulphonamides, mecamylamine.
2.6 Lactic acidosis (e.g. pregnancy toxaemia): Lactic
acid suppresses tubular excretion of uraic, L-dopa (i.e., L-
dopa can causes SLE & Gout).
2.7 Ketosis (as in diabetes, starvation): B-
hydroxybutyric acid suppresses urate excretion.

1. Polyarticular onset: When hands are involved arthritis
may resemble RA; both clinically and radiologically. but joints
usually appear very nodular‫محببة‬ due to tophi.
2. Knee effusions: Usually history of classical acute attack
in big toe can be obtained but sometimes knee swells de
novo. Synovial fluid is of the inflammatory type, cloudy with
high polymorph count, and contains urate crystals.
Pyrophosphate crystals may also occur—gout with
pseudogout is not uncommon.
3. Soft-tissue gout: Onset with, e.g. Achilles tendinitis or
olecranon bursitis. Possibly some cases of 'tennis elbow'.

Prof.Ahmed ElYasaki; AinShams U., Jan, 2015
Clinical Features:
Classically:
-Pain: Worse at end of day. 'Night starts' in children.
-Muscle wasting: Marked around joint, out of proportion to apparent
degree of inflammation.
-Limp: when lower limb joints involved.
-Deformity: (usually flexion) due to pull of stronger muscle groups.
-Swelling: Occasionally effusion.
-Overlying skin: Often tense, shiny and bluish (not in deeply situated joints; such
as hip and shoulder) where pain, stiffness and muscle wasting may be the only clinical
features.
Prof.Ahmed ElYasaki; AinShams U., Dec,2014
2. TB Arthritis (Cont.)
However, these classic features are not
always present.
For example,
* Spinal tuberculosis: May present as low back pain with
high ESR and a normal radiograph for several months, until
vertebral collapse occurs or paraspinal cold abscess appears.
* Dorsal spine involvement: May present with girdle

Arthritis or arthralgia are usually reactive, but may be due to:
Direct infection of synovium by virus (e.g. following vaccination).
Immunological response of synovium (reactive arthritis) (e.g., following
mumps, rubella).
Synovitis due to virus replication elsewhere (e.g., arbovirus).
Synovitis as part of general immunological process (e.g., hepatitis-B).
B) Arthritis Following Virus

Examples are:
Actinomycosis.
Coccidioidomycosis.
Histoplasmosis.
Blastomycosis.
Aspergillosis.
Cryptococcosis (torulosis).
Sporotrichosis.
Treatment:
Amphotericin B (but actinomycosis is sensitive to penicillin).
C) Mycotic Infections
Prof.Ahmed ElYasaki; AinShams U., Jan, 2015
Infantile osteomyelitis: May be due to staphylococcus or
streptococcus. Massive oedema of part of a limb, rapid separation of large
sequestrum.
Adolescent osteomyelitis: Acute and subacute forms, especially in
lower femoral epiphysis. Difficult diagnosis in early stages - pyrexia and
high ESR, but normal radiograph, little or no leucocytosis, may be
negative blood culture. However bone scan is abnormal within a few days
and should always be done if X-ray negative. Tagged leucocytes using
radioactive iridium may also be helpful.
Adult osteomyelitis: Especially in debilitating conditions such as
diabetes. May cause chronic back pain. Radiograph showing involvement
of contiguous vertebrae and intervening discs, only later paravertebral
abscess.

  • 3.
  • 5. Clinical Features: The classic picture of symmetrical polyarthritis in a middle-aged female only occurs in a proportion of cases. Onset of Disease: May be acute or insidious, monarticular or polyarticular. Average age of onset is 40 years. Prodromal constitutional symptoms frequently precede joint pain and swelling. 1. Typical onset (50%): Gradual development of symmetrical polyarthritis involving small joints of hands and feet. 2. Acute polyarthritis (10-20%): May be associated with fever, sweating and leucocytosis. RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS: CLINICAL FEATURES, COMPLICATIONS, DIAGNOSIS AND PROGNOSIS
  • 6. 3. Acute mono-articular arthritis (~30%): Sudden painful swelling of large joint may resemble rheumatic fever or atypical gout. 'Arthritis robusta' is a rare form o RA with proliferative synovitis, subchondrial cysts (like geodes) and acute onset, seen in manual workers. 4. Chronic mono-articular arthritis: Insidious painful swelling of a large joint e.g. knee. Disease may remain localized for years: joint biopsy may then be necessary to differentiate osteoarthritis and tuberculous arthritis. Onset of Disease (Cont.):
  • 7. 5. Onset with soft-tissue lesion: RA may be heralded by tenosynovitis 'trigger-finger', rotator cuff lesion in shoulder, or carpal tunnel syndrome. 6. Onset with sensory disturbance: Paraesthesiae due to carpal tunnel syndrome (established by motor and sensory nerve conduction tests). Some times associated with vasomotor disturbance (e.g. Raynaud's phenomenon), or no apparent cause. Carpal tunnel syndrome is often an early feature of RA, occurring in over 20% of patients at some time, especially where wrists involved (due to associated flexor tenosynovitis). 7. 0nset with visceral disorder: e.g. pleural effusion. Onset of Disease (Cont.):
  • 8. Effect of RA Early changes Late changes
  • 9. ACR Rheumatol Diff. stages of RA OP stage Early erosion Late stage
  • 10. Narrow medial, lateral and PF compartment. Generalized OP. Synovial cysts (geodes) in the tibial plateau and lateral femoral condyle.
  • 11. The 1987 ARA revised criteria of RA. It has sensitivity 94% and specificity 89%.
  • 12. ARA 'exclusions' (any one of which excludes diagnosis of RA) is a convenient list of conditions which may be confused with the disease. 1. Systemic lupus erythematosus: Arthritis in young female with severe anaemia and constitutional disturbance, out of proportion to joint symptoms. 2. Polyarteritis nodosa: Arthritis may resemble RA but radiological changes are minimal, severe systemic symptoms and evidence of vasculitis at early stage of disease. (Borderline between 'malignant' RA with widespread vasculitis and polyarteritis nodosa may be narrow, but joint erosions and typical rheumatoid deformities are uncommon in the latter). 3. Dermatomyositis: Joint signs are mild, muscle weakness predominates. Rash is typical. 4. Scleroderma: Typical skin changes, but coexistence with RA is not uncommon. 5. Rheumatic fever: Main differential features are: migratory joint involvement myocarditis and/or endocarditis; small subcutaneous nodules having different histological structure; higher, sustained fever; more specific Differential Diagnosis of RA
  • 13. 6. Gout: Classical types are straightforward. Acute polyarticular onset of gout may resemble RA. Response to colchicine is strongly suggestive, occurrence of tophi are diagnostic, family history and persistently high serum uric acid level are suggestive. 7. Acute suppurative arthritis: May resemble acute monarticular RA. Proved by positive synovial fluid culture. 8. Tuberculous arthritis: Often confused with monarticular RA. Synovial fluid culture only occasionally positive and diagnosis usually rests on synovial biopsy. 9. Reiter’s syndrome: Presence or history of urethritis and conjunctivitis. 10. Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy: Wrists and ankles involved, radiograph shows periosteal reaction. 11. Shoulder-hand $ (form of algodystrophy): Swollen, painful hand resembles RA but frozen shoulder occurs at same time with lack of constitutional symptoms and normal ESR. 12. Neurogenic arthropathy: Characteristic radiological changes and associated urological signs. Differential Diagnosis of RA (Cont.)
  • 14. 13. Ochronotic arthropathy: Homogentisic acid in urine detected on alkalinization. 14. Sarcoid arthritis: Sarcoid involvement of joints (rare) may resemble RA but other features of sarcoidosis will be present. Positive Kveim test and Erythema nodosum and arthritis associated with pulmonary sarcoid lymphadenopathy) usually involves lower-limb large joints. 15. Myeloma: Increase in plasma cells in marrow, paraprotein or abnormal immunoglobulin present. 16. Arthritis with erythema nodosum: Usually transient, affecting joints of lower limb. 17. Arthritis in blood disorders: (especially leukaemia and haemophilia). 18. Arthritis with hypogammagllobulinemia. Differential Diagnosis of RA (Cont.)
  • 15. The following are not in ARA list of 'exclusions' but must also be included in differential diagnosis: 19. Osteoarthritis: Confusion tends to arise especially in (a) acute episodes of activity in isolated osteoarthritic joints, (b) acute generalized osteoarthritis with moderately raised ESR in middle-aged females (rare condition; many turn out to have RA with or without concomitant osteoarthritis). Differential points are Joints involved (often terminal interphalangeal and first carpometacarpal joints of hands), Heberden's nodes, radiological appearance, and lack of subcutaneous nodules and rheumatoid factor in osteoarthritis. 20. Spondylitis: Large joint involvement in ankylosing spondylitis is not uncommon but polyarthritis resembling RA is rare. Subcutaneous nodules and rheumatoid factor are absent. 21. Psoriatic arthritis: Whereas some cases ('indeterminate type') resemble RA, the presence of psoriasis in patient or a close relative, predominant involvement of terminal interphalangeal joints and negative Rose-Waaler tests are suggestive of this diagnosis. Differential Diagnosis of RA (Cont.)
  • 16. 22. Arthritis with ulcerative colitis or regional ileitis: Usually large joints, often with sacro-iliitis. 23. Traumatic arthritis: 24. Polymyalgia rheumatica: Peripheral joint signs are minimal, ESR is very high, temporal artery biopsy may be normal or reveal arteritis. However, some cases of RA occurring in the elderly have onset exactly like polymyalgia. Differential Diagnosis of RA (Cont.)
  • 18. Approximately 40% of cases do very well Course and Prognosis of RA (5,0)% (35,0)% (50,0)% (10,0)% Very variable. It is still impossible to predict the outcome of a case of RA will any degree of certainty. Periods of exacerbation and remission are the rule. 10% progress relentlessly towards marked disability. 50% have persistent activity with remissions and exacerbations, with some deformity. (5% remit with no sequelae 35% remit with mild or moderate sequelae).
  • 19. I- Mode of onset: Acute onset is usually favorable, insidious onset less favorable. 2- Sex: Males tend to do better than females. Exception is symmetrical, insidious arthritis in males which nearly always has a poor prognosis. 3- Age: RA developing in the elderly presenting with large-joint pain and stiffness resembling polymyalgia tends to do well. 4- Initial joint involvement: Monarticular and atypical cases with asymmetrical onset in large joints do well. 5- Underweight: weakness and severe limitation of function at onset herald poor prognosis. 6- High ESR and low haemoglobin: at onset suggest poor prognosis. Initially high; serum ferritin concentrations are associated with systemic disease. Prognostic Factors of RA
  • 20. 7- Persistent rheumatoid activity for more than a year: uncontrolled by treatment, denotes poor outlook. 8- Early erosive changes: (e.g. within a year of onset) suggest poor prognosis. 9- Serology: Seronegative cases are thought to have a more favorable first year after onset. Systemic lesions, particularly vasculitis, are usually associated with severe seropositive disease. 10- HLA antigens: HLA-DR2 correlates with less severe cases, HLA- DR3 with severe cases and vasculitis (but not necessarily with seropositivity). 11- Extra-articular manifestations: Note: Death directly related to rheumatoid disease is not common, but may occur due to a complication such as amyloid, cervical spine subluxation, or vasculitis. Patients with severe disease tend to die 10 or more years prematurely, in females, and 4 years in men. Prognostic Factors of RA (Cont.)
  • 21. OAOA
  • 22. 1. Primary Generalized OA: Often hereditary, especially associated with Heberden’s nodes. 2. Secondary OA: Secondary to trauma or previous joint disease. OA Classification: ACR Primary OA
  • 23. Due to prior trauma, infection, inflammation, CPPD or overwork as in: •Bus drivers  shoulder. * Pneumatic drills  Elbows, wrists, shoulders. * Footballer and ballet dancer  Talar joints. Atlas (hasan slama) Sec. (Atypical) OA. Distribution of target joint Sec.OA

  • 29. Definition: Metabolic disorder of purine metabolism characterized by hyperuricaemia and recurring attacks of arthritis, and in later stages chronic arthritis, tophi formation and a tendency to renal failure. Classification: 1. Primary (genetic) gout: (95% of cases). Patients usually have genetic tendency To A) Impaired uric acid excretion, B) Overproduction of urate. 1- Gout (Podagra)
  • 30. Classification (Cont.): 2. Secondary gout (5% of cases): A) Due to overproduction of uric acid; occurs in: 2.1 Myeloproliferative disorders: (e.g. polycythaemia, leukaemia, myeloma, reticuloses). Increased nucleoprotein turnover. 2.2 Specific enzyme deficiencies: Several rare congenital. disorders now identified, e.g. HGPRT deficiency (Lesch-Nyhan $), PRPP synthetase excess, glucose-6-phosphatase deficiency. 2.3 During treatment of severe pernicious anaemia: due to ; maturation of megaloblastic marrow releasing uric acid. from nucleoprotein breakdown. Gout (Podagra)

  • 36. Atypical gout: 30% of cases get their gout outside the 1st MTPJ 1. Polyarticular onset: When hands are involved arthritis may resemble RA; both clinically and radiologically. but joints usually appear very nodular‫محببة‬ due to tophi. 2. Knee effusions: Usually history of classical acute attack in big toe can be obtained but sometimes knee swells de novo. Synovial fluid is of the inflammatory type, cloudy with high polymorph count, and contains urate crystals. Pyrophosphate crystals may also occur—gout with pseudogout is not uncommon. 3. Soft-tissue gout: Onset with, e.g. Achilles tendinitis or olecranon bursitis. Possibly some cases of 'tennis elbow'. Gout (Podagra)
  • 37. Shelf sign (arrow) = overhanged edge. This characteristic radiogrpahic sign of gout is due to a tophaceous deposit Atlas (hasan slama)
  • 38. Urate: (gout): Negatively birefringent needle-shape crystals of monosodium urate. Pyrophosphate (pyrophosphate arthropathy): Positive birefringent brick-shaped crystals of calcium pyrophosphate dehydrate, deposited in cartilage. Hydroxyapatite (apatite deposition disease): Tiny hexagonal crystals of hydroxyapatite, deposited in articular or periarticular tissues - seen with light microscope only if in clumps.

  • 99. Clinical Features: Classically: -Pain: Worse at end of day. 'Night starts' in children. -Muscle wasting: Marked around joint, out of proportion to apparent degree of inflammation. -Limp: when lower limb joints involved. -Deformity: (usually flexion) due to pull of stronger muscle groups. -Swelling: Occasionally effusion. -Overlying skin: Often tense, shiny and bluish (not in deeply situated joints; such as hip and shoulder) where pain, stiffness and muscle wasting may be the only clinical features. Prof.Ahmed ElYasaki; AinShams U., Dec,2014 2. TB Arthritis (Cont.) However, these classic features are not always present. For example, * Spinal tuberculosis: May present as low back pain with high ESR and a normal radiograph for several months, until vertebral collapse occurs or paraspinal cold abscess appears. * Dorsal spine involvement: May present with girdle thoracic pain.

Adolescent osteomyelitis: Acute and subacute forms, especially in lower femoral epiphysis. Difficult diagnosis in early stages - pyrexia and high ESR, but normal radiograph, little or no leucocytosis, may be negative blood culture. However bone scan is abnormal within a few days and should always be done if X-ray negative. Tagged leucocytes using radioactive iridium may also be helpful. Adult osteomyelitis: Especially in debilitating conditions such as diabetes. May cause chronic back pain.
