Inflammatory arthritis
Here are some key points in the differential diagnosis based on the information provided: - Sepsis (given fever, hypotension, leukocytosis) - Pneumonia (given fever, leukocytosis, back pain on exam) - Urosepsis (given fever, hypotension, leukocytosis) - Endocarditis (given fever, hypotension, family history of "social drinking") - Myocarditis/pericarditis (given fever, back pain) - Drug-related toxicity (given multiple comorbidities and medications) - Adrenal crisis (given multiple comorbidities) Given the acute onset of fever and hypotension requiring intubation and vasopressors, sepsis

- #12 Rheumatoid arthritis is an insidious polyarthritis Ankylosing spondylitis typically presents with back and buttock pain Psoriatic and inflammatory bowel disease associated arthritis are associated with autoimmune disease of the skin and gastrointestinal system respectively
- #15 Crystal arthropathies present like septic joints but don’t grow anything and don’t respond to antibiotics
- #26 Genetic Predisposition for Development of Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a common, complex, and systemic inflammatory disease with the potential to cause severe debilitation.1-3 Although etiology remains unknown and pathogenesis is not fully understood, a strong association between AS and HLA-B27 (an allele of the major histocompatibility complex) suggests a genetic predisposition. Presence of allele and expression of the condition vary, however, among different ethnic/racial groups. For example, 8% of western European whites are positive for HLA-B27, and it is detected in over 90% of white patients with primary AS; but 2% of African Americans are positive for HLA-B27, and it is present in only 48% of African Americans with AS.4-6 Consequently prevalence rates vary between groups.
