Bilateral coxitis in scleroderma-polymyositis overlap syndrome.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Joint manifestations in scleroderma (Scl) and polymyositis (PM) are dominated by inflammatory arthralgia. Arthritis is less common and preferentially affects the hands, wrists, knees, and ankles. Involvement of the hip has been rarely reported in the literature. We report a case of coxitis diagnosed in a patient suffering from scleroderma-polymyositis overlap syndrome successfully treated by ultrasound-guided infiltration of triamcinolone hexacetonide.

Anti-U5 snRNP antibody as a possible serological marker for scleroderma-polymyositis overlap.
OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of the anti-U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) antibody in patients with systemic sclerosis. METHODS Sera from 281 patients with systemic sclerosis, including 10 patients with overlapping polymyositis, were assayed using RNA immunoprecipitation and protein immunoprecipitation. RESULTS Only one serum sample showed precipitation of U5 snRNA with s...
متن کاملImmunolocalization and partial characterization of a nucleolar autoantigen (PM-Scl) associated with polymyositis/scleroderma overlap syndromes.
Precipitating anti-PM-Scl antibodies are present in sera from patients with polymyositis, scleroderma, and polymyositis/scleroderma overlap syndromes. By indirect immunofluorescence microscopy, anti-PM-Scl antibodies stained the nucleolus in cells of different tissues and species, suggesting that the antigen is highly conserved. By electron microscopy, anti-PM-Scl antibodies reacted primarily w...
متن کاملSystemic sclerosis-polymyositis overlap syndrome associated with autoimmune hepatitis and cerebral vasculitis.
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic disorder characterized by persistent hepatocellular inflammation and necrosis. AIH overlap syndromes with other autoimmune diseases have been reported, including connective tissue diseases (CTD). Reports of AIH in systemic sclerosis (SSc), however, are scarce and have been particularly described in the limited SSc subtype. We report a case of systemic scl...

RA-like and erosive) and fibrosing alveolitis (reviewed in [9]). One feature of the syndrome is said to be 'mechanic's hands' which consists of hyperkeratosis of the fingers associated with cracking and fissuring of the skin overlying the finger pulp. When it was definitively demonstrated that the Jo-1 antigen was histidyl-tRNA synthetase, other tRNA synthetases, including alanyland threonyl-tR...
متن کاملThe changing landscape of the clinical value of the PM/Scl autoantibody system
Autoantibodies to the polymyositis/scleroderma (PM/Scl) complex have been associated with systemic sclerosis and PM/Scl overlap syndrome. The report of Hanke and colleagues in a recent issue of Arthritis Research and Therapy is the first to describe the separate evaluation of anti-PM/Scl-75c and PM/Scl-100 autoantibodies and their relationship to clinical manifestations of systemic sclerosis. S...
