Historically, Behçet's syndrome (BS) was classified within SpA. Although they are now classified separately, the association between BS and SpA remains controversial. The concept of MHC-I (major histocompatibility complex class I)-opathy has been proposed based on the overlap in immunopathological mechanisms among diseases associated with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I. Enthesitis is a frequent complication in patients with BS who also have acne and arthritis. However, information regarding enthesitis in patients with BS without arthritis (BS-WA) is limited. Herein, we report a case of vascular BS complicated by enthesitis. In this case, heel pain was the dominant symptom at presentation. Laboratory tests revealed chlamydia antibody positivity, leading to a tentative diagnosis of reactive arthritis. Despite treatment, C-reactive protein (CRP) levels remained elevated. Imaging revealed numerous aneurysmal lesions in the large vessels. Based on these findings and other symptoms, patient was diagnosed with vascular BS. He tested positive for HLA-B15 and HLA-B46, which are associated with peripheral SpA. Subsequent remission induction therapy for BS was effective and the patient was discharged without complications. Our case and a literature review suggest that there exists a subgroup of BS-WA with a complication of enthesitis, possibly belonging to the spectrum of MHC-I-opathies.

Strategies must be considered to ensure patient needs are met in a timely fashion. This opinion piece discusses several potential models of care for joint-hypermobility disorders, several ways in which primary providers can be involved, and argues that primary providers should be an essential and integrated part of the management of these patients, in collaboration with multidisciplinary teams and pediatric subspecialists. We review several strategies and educational opportunities that may better incorporate primary providers into the care and management of these patients, and we also discuss some of the limitations and barriers that need to be addressed to improve provision of care. This includes establishing primary care physicians as the medical home, providing initial diagnostic and treatment referrals while connecting patients with specialty care, and collaboration and coordination with multi-disciplinary teams for more complex needs. Several barriers exist that may hamper these efforts, including a lack of available specialty trainings for providers interested in providing care to patients with EDS and HSD, a lack of expertly derived consensus guidelines, and limited time resources in extant primary care practices. Also, primary providers should have an active voice in the future for the further consideration and development of these presented strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":21322,"journal":{"name":"Rheumatology International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141898126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Including our case, we identified 16 cases of TCZ-induced psoriatic eruption. Three (21%) out of 14 patients had a history of cutaneous psoriasis - data were not available for 2 patients. Eight (50%) patients had previously received TNFα antagonists. TCZ was stopped for 10 patients and continued for 4 patients. For the 2 remaining patients, the interval between two injections of TCZ was shortened. All the patients with available follow-up data had an improvement of the eruption within 4 weeks.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>To conclude, in case of TCZ-induced psoriatic eruption and in light of the published cases, we suggest using topical steroids and reassessing the patient 4 weeks later. If no healing is obtained, we suggest stopping TCZ, and treating the underlying disease with another drug. When no other drug is available, while waiting for more data regarding the value of IL-6 levels, it can be discussed to increase TCZ regimen, as it has been successful for 2 authors. Efficacy assessment of the chosen attitude should not take place before 4 weeks.</p>","PeriodicalId":21322,"journal":{"name":"Rheumatology International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141620890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
