Popis: | Pustulotic arthro-osteitis (PAO) is a major complication of palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP). In orthopedic surgery outpatient clinics, PPP patients with osteoarticular symptoms are seen frequently, but PAO's clinical features remain not well known. To determine Japanese patients' clinical features and treatment status with PAO, we conducted a single-center retrospective epidemiologic survey. Clinical features, including gender, age, smoking habit, the onset pattern, interval between skin manifestation and osteoarticular symptoms, and the incidence of sternoclavicular joint lesions, axial and peripheral joint lesions, were examined. The association between physical status and image findings by X-ray, computed tomography, bone scintigraphy with Technetium99 , or magnetic resonance imaging was evaluated. The distribution pattern of peripheral joint lesions and the treatment status were evaluated. We identified 51 patients, 10 men and 41 women, with PAO. The average age was 48 years and 59% were smokers. The frequency of onset patterns was skin-leading type (63%), simultaneous onset (18%), and osteoarticular leading type (16%). The average interval between skin involvement and osteoarticular involvement in skin-leading type was significantly longer than that in osteoarticular leading type (7.1 years vs. 2.0 years). A sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) lesion was detected in 65% cases, and the physical findings of SCJ were significantly related to the image findings. Axial and peripheral joint lesions were detected in the same ratio (23 cases, 45%). In the peripheral joints, the finger joint was the most common (26%), followed by the shoulder joint (21%). Patients were treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (76%), followed by conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) (29%) and biological DMARDs (9.8%). Tonsillectomy was performed in 11 cases. In conclusion, PAO more frequently involves SCJ in middle-aged women who smoke. Given that osteoarticular leading type was detected in 16% cases, seronegative oligoarthritis patients should be monitored for PPP, leading to a diagnosis of PAO. |
