The authors report a case of a 43-year-old female who initially presented with hypoxia and fevers secondary to a presumed acute viral or bacterial infectious pulmonary insult. However, fevers persisted despite pulmonary imaging remaining normal. The case subsequently evolved into a PUO with multiple lines of investigation proving inconclusive. No definitive diagnosis was made at the time of discharge; however, cessation of hydralazine was noted to coincide with the last of the patient’s fevers. Following the discharge, her anti-histone antibodies returned a positive result, and the diagnosis of drug-induced lupus was made with hydralazine as the presumed trigger.","PeriodicalId":15538,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Rheumatology and Immunology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48287611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subsequently, tofacitinib (a Janus Kinase 1 and 3 inhibitor, [JAK1/3 inhibitor]) resulted in improvement of the patient’s RA symptoms and temporary improvement of the neutropenia. Ultimately, upadacitinib (a specific JAK1 inhibitor) resulted in further improvement of the neutropenia and control of his RA.

It is more common in South East Asia and Japan, India, and Mexico [1]. It is increasingly being recognized due to increased awareness among medical fraternity and better imaging modalities. Undetected hypertension, pulselessness, and syncope are more common symptoms and presentation during pregnancy is unusual and can lead to bad obstetric outcomes. Recent evidences support the use of tocilizumab for inducing remission in Takayasu arteritis. We report this rare case of vasculitis presenting in pregnancy as malignant hypertension. A 20-year-old pregnant woman (45 days) presented with headache and nausea but no fever. She had a history of intermittent claudication of legs for the past 3 years but not evaluated. During examination, pulses were felt normally and blood pressure (BP) 180/110, no murmurs in cardiac auscultation, but she had abdominal bruit (renal vessels). Other systems were normal. Echocardiogram (ECHO) showed dilated ascending aorta. Doppler of renal vessels showed narrowing of renal arteries. Unfortunately, she had to undergo termination of pregnancy (high BP in spite of antihypertensives). Her computed tomography (CT) angiogram showed features of TAK with type 5 pattern–she had methylprednisolone infusion 500 mg daily for 3 days, followed by injection tocilizumab 400 mg monthly 3 doses. Once remission was achieved, she had recanalization by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of right renal artery. She is currently maintained on aspirin and telmisartan. Awareness of causes of high BP, inputs by radiologist, cardiologist, and rheumatologist and understanding by the patient and family helped to achieve good outcome albeit the miscarriage.","PeriodicalId":15538,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Rheumatology and Immunology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45207535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Causative factors can be divided into infectious and noninfectious etiologies. The diagnosis of uveitis is a major challenge due to heterogeneity in presentation. The disease course may be acute monophasic, recurrent, or chronic relapsing. Complications include posterior synechiae, secondary cataract, ocular hypertension or glaucoma, macular edema, retinal vascular occlusion, epiretinal membrane, and so on, and ultimately visual loss. Antimicrobial therapy is indicated for infection, whereas noninfectious uveitis warrants a combination of steroids, immunosuppressives, and anti-inflammatory agents. With the advancement of biologics, treatment strategies in chronic, noninfectious uveitis have had multiple breakthroughs, particularly in treatment-resistant cases. This article provides a review of the diagnostic approach to uveitis based on symptomatology and ophthalmological findings, and discussion of relevant treatment modalities and strategies.","PeriodicalId":15538,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Rheumatology and Immunology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43018268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
