Acute rheumatic fever (ARF), caused by group A β-hemolytic streptococcus infection, is characterized by inflammation affecting several organs. There are few reports on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in patients with ARF. An 8-year-old Japanese boy presented with a prolonged fever of
A 31-year-old nurse's aide developed fever, malaise, migratory arthralgias, arthritis, and severe tenosynovitis six weeks after pricking her finger with a needle contaminated by blood from a patient having type B viral hepatitis. Although disseminated Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection was the initial
Cases of arthritis caused by Streptococcus agalactiae are infrequent and in our knowledge there are no case reports of tenosynovitis caused by S. agalactiae. A 46-year-old woman presented with fever, polyarthralgia, myalgia, diarrhea and vomiting. She had a history of papillary thyroid carcinoma and
Pyogenic tenosynovitis of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) is a rare condition in young healthy patients. We report the case of a healthy 11-year-old boy who presented with a history of fever and painful swelling below the medial malleolus of the left ankle. Imaging and laboratory findings suggested
The purpose of this series was to describe the ultrasonographic and radiographic manifestations of changes to the hands and wrists in 50 patients with chronic musculoskeletal symptoms secondary to Chikungunya fever during the 2016 outbreak that occurred in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Most of the plain
Chikungunya fever (CHIKF) is currently distributed in Africa and in South and Southeast Asia; outbreaks have occurred periodically in the region over the past 50 years. After a large outbreak had occurred in countries in the western Indian Ocean region in 2005, several countries reported cases of
Q fever is a worldwide-occurring zoonosis caused by Coxiella burnetii. Better knowledge of the disease and of evolving diagnostics can enable recognition of unusual manifestations. Reported here are four cases of Q fever osteoarticular infections in adults: two cases of Q fever tenosynovitis, which
OBJECTIVE
To describe the main ultrasound findings of chikungunya fever in the ankle.
METHODS
This was a cross-sectional observational study involving 52 patients referred to the Hospital Universitário Pedro Ernesto and presenting with clinical and biochemical evidence of chikungunya fever. The
The arthritis of rheumatic fever in adults may mimic acute gonococcal arthritis. To further characterize this clinical picture the features of six patients presenting with the migratory polyarthritis of acute rheumatic fever have been analyzed. There were two men and four women, ranging in age from
Twenty-three patients with disseminated gonococcal infections--15 with acute tenosynovitis, six with septic monoarticular arthritis, and two with both--were randomly given five days of erythromycin stearate or estolate, 500 mg orally every six hours (13 patients), or crystalline aqueous penicillin G
We describe five cases of acute rheumatic fever in adults (applying Jones's criteria and exclusion of other common causes of acute polyarthritis in adults). The polyarthritis was migratory in three patients and additive in two. Severe tenosynovitis was present in three patients. Only one patient had
Six adult patients had a syndrome indistinguishable from childhood rheumatic fever, with few cardiac findings and an arthrutis that had a characteristic pattern. The joint disease was abrupt in onset, rapidly additive, and eventually symmetrical, with a lower-extremity, large-joint predominance and
Immunohistochemistry and bacteriologic culturing were used to detect Mycoplasma bovis in tissue specimens from feedlot calves affected with pneumonia and arthritis. Two herds with 110 Charolais calves and 25 Angus calves were examined. Clinical signs included severe respiratory distress, anorexia,
Polyarthritis and tenosynovitis were diagnosed in a cat. Clinical signs of 2 months' duration included swollen limbs, painful joints (sensitive to touch), lameness, and pyrexia. Laboratory test data revealed hypogammaglobulinemia, hypoalbuminemia, leukocytosis, and mild anemia. The cat was
Snakebite victims have been described previously in orthopedic literature in regard to complications such as compartment syndrome and carpal tunnel syndrome. We introduce a previously unreported complication of stenosing flexor tenosynovitis in a patient bitten by a rattlesnake. After being bitten
