Dactylitis in psoriatic arthritis: a marker for disease severity?
AIM To describe dactylitis in a large cohort of patients with psoriatic arthritis followed prospectively in a specialist clinic, and identify whether it is associated with a worse prognosis. METHODS Between 1979 and 1999, 537 patients were registered in the psoriatic arthritis clinic and entered onto a longitudinal database. Patients were followed prospectively at six to 12 month intervals ac...
متن کاملOptimal management of dactylitis in patients with psoriatic arthritis

The presence of cutaneous psoriasis is important for correct and early diagnosis of PsA, because the onset of cutaneous lesions usually precedes the appearance of joint manifestation.

متن کاملExploratory study to identify mechanical factors that may contribute to toe dactylitis in patients with psoriatic arthritis
Background Dactylitis (sausage digit) is one of the most commonly reported features of psoriatic arthritis (PsA), the second most common inflammatory arthritis after rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It has been hypothesised that dactylitis is a functional enthesitis at the proximal interphalangeal joints (hands and feet), causing multiple pathologies to varying levels of severity. Dactylitis results ...
متن کاملDisparity between ultrasound and clinical findings in psoriatic arthritis.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between psoriatic arthritis (PsA)-specific clinical composite scores and ultrasound-verified pathology as well as comparison of clinical and ultrasound definitions of remission. METHODS We performed a prospective study on 70 consecutive PsA patients. Clinical assessments included components of Disease Activity Index for Psoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA) and ...
متن کاملComparing bone mineral density in rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis
Background: Changes in patients’ bone mineral density (BMD) is one of the problems in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, which can be due to the use of corticosteroid drugs to reduce patients' symptoms or due to the aging process in patients. In this study, we decided to compare BMD in patients with psoriatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: This study as a cross-sectional descrip...
