Erysipelas

Ankle sonographic examination will be performed using Samsung UGEO H60 ultrasound machine in use since 2016. In order to optimize reproducibility, all examinations will be performed by a single examiner. Multiplanar (longitudinal/transverse) scanning will be done in B- and PD-mode to identify pathologies defined by the OMERACT network in the following structures:
Talocrural joint:synovial fluid (scored 0-3);synovitis with synovial hypertrophy and PD signal (each scored 0-3); bone erosion with distance between cortices and presence/absence of DP signal
Tibialis anterior,tibialis posterior, extensor digitorum longus, fibularis brevis,fibularis tertius,and calcaneal tendons: presence/absence of tenosynovitis, thickening, hypoechogenicity, nodularity, fusiform aspect, and DP signal
Calcaneal enthesis: presence/absence of thickening,hypoechogenicity,calcification, cortical irregularity,and DP signal
Retrocalcaneal and calcaneal bursa: presence/absence of bursitis and DP signal

Musculoskeletal Ultrasound of the Ankles in Erysipelas-like Erythema of Familial Mediterranean Fever

Presence of one or more of the following musculoskeletal pathologies identified by sonographic examination of the ankle: synovial fluid, synovitis, and/or bone erosions in the talocrural joint; tendinous anomalies in the tibialis anterior, tibialis posterior, extensor digitorum longus, fibularis brevis, fibularis tertius, and calcaneal tendons; calcaneal enthesopathy, and retrocalcaneal and calcaneal bursitis.

Compare findings on musculoskeletal ultrasound and radiography between the ankle ipsilateral and contralateral to ELE.

Measure and compare soft tissue thickness between the ankle ipsilateral and contralateral to ELE

Correlate presence of musculoskeletal ultrasound pathologies of the ankle ipsilateral to ELE with clinical and paraclinical parameters.
