Refractory rheumatoid vasculitis
Systemic rheumatoid vasculitis (SRV) can develop in rheumatoid arthritis of long duration and high disease activity. It most commonly manifests as cutaneous vasculitis and mononeuritis multiplex. This can involve any organ of the body and carries very high mortality. We report a case of a young male who had rheumatoid arthritis for the past 15 years and became refractory to standard drugs and a...
متن کاملRheumatoid vasculitis: becoming extinct?
BACKGROUND Systemic rheumatoid vasculitis (SRV) is a relatively rare complication of RA. The incidence of SRV appeared to increase during the 1970s and 1980s from 6.0 to 12.5/million. During the 1990s there have been major changes in the treatment of RA, with more aggressive control of inflammation. Our aim was to study the epidemiology of SRV in a stable, well-defined population over a 15-yr p...
متن کاملRetinal vasculitis in rheumatoid arthritis.
A woman with exacerbation of severe rheumatoid arthritis developed lesions compatible with retinal vasculitis. Laboratory studies confirmed the diagnosis, and the rapid clinical improvement that accompanied a fall in circulating immune complexes suggested that the vasculitis was a direct consequence of the rheumatoid disease. From these observations retinal vasculitis should probably be sought ...
متن کاملCan rheumatoid vasculitis predate a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis?
We report regarding a male patient who presented with a systemic vasculitis that was consistent with a diagnosis of polyarteritis nodosa. At presentation, he had no features of inflammatory arthritis but had a high rheumatoid factor titer and low C4 level. Withdrawal of immunosuppression after 6 years resulted in the development of classical rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This case supports previou...
متن کاملRefractory rheumatoid vasculitis—a therapeutic dilemma
The case presented by Kumar et al. [1] reminds us of one of the most severe but now rare extra-articular manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis (RA); rheumatoid vasculitis (RV). RV is now a rare condition, with an annual incidence of 3.4/million, and it is now much less common than the anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) vasculitides (AAV) [2]. The incidence has decreased substantially ...
