🌎International Criteria for the diagnosis of Behcet's disease 🌏. 🧑‍🏫🧑‍🏫🧑‍🏫🧑‍🏫🧑‍🏫🧑‍🏫🧑‍🏫
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

🅰️ The International study group criteria
» The most widely recognized criteria «

🧑‍🏫 To diagnose Behcet's disease , the patient must have the following features
⤵️⤵️⤵️

🕵️ Recurrent painful oral ulcerations
( aphthous or herpetiform) at least 3 times in one year
🕵️ القُرَح المُؤلمه فى الفم دى عرض أساسى لابد يكون موجود طبعا ( نوبات شديده من القُرح على الاقل ٣ مرات فى السنه ...



2️⃣ of the following ⤵️

🕵️ مطلوب اتنين على الاقل من الاربعه دول 🤷

🔶1️⃣ Recurrent genital aphthous ulceration
or scarring observed by a physician or reported reliably by patient

قُرَح مُؤلمه فى الاعضاء التناسليه ↙️↙️↙️
Scrotal ulcers in ♂️ & labial ulcers in ♀️

🔶2️⃣ Skin lesions (including erythema nodosum-like lesions, pseudofolliculitis, papulopustular lesions, or acneiform nodules) observed by a physician in a post-adolescent patient not receiving corticosteroids.

🕵️انواع مختلفه من ال skin lesions كما هو موضح،، ممكن تستعين بطبيب الجلديه لمعرفتها والتأكد من تشخيصها

🔶3️⃣ Eye involvement with anterior/posterior uveitis or retinitis ( retinal vasculitis )observed by an ophthalmologist.

🕵️ التهاب مناعى داخل العين ولازم تستعين بطبيب رمد ضرورى عشان يأكد وجود الحاجات دى أو لا ‼️

🔶4️⃣ Positive pathergy test performed with oblique insertion of a ≤21-gauge needle under sterile conditions and interpreted by a physician at 48 hours.

🕵️ اختبار سهل ممكن تعمله بواسطه ابره تخترق الجلد بعد تطهيرها ومتابعة حدوث Papule اكبر من ٢ مم او Pustule فى خلال ٢٤ - ٤٨ ساعه

🕵️The positivity of Skin Pathergy Test
is defined as the presence of an erythematous papule ≥2 mm or a pustule after 24–48 h.

🕵️ Note ✍️

🔶Neurological involvement 🧠
-------------------------------------------------

✓Neurologic involvement is seen in 5% of patients with Behcet's Diseaee .

✓There are two main forms:
vascular and parenchymal.

✓Parenchymal neuro-Behcet's Disrase leads to inflammatory lesions in the brain stem, diencephalon, basal ganglia and, less frequently, the spinal cord and cerebellum.

✓ It usually presents with bilateral pyramidal signs, unilateral hemiparesis, behavioral changes, sphincter disturbances, and headache.

✓The vascular neuro-Behcet's Disease
is dural sinus thrombosis, mainly characterized by headache and papilledema. It usually associates with venous thrombosis in lower extremities, and has better prognosis compared to parenchymal neuro-Behcet's disease

🔶Vascular involvement
--------------------------------------

✓Vascular Neuro Behcet's
✓DVT ± Pulmonary embolism
✓pulmonary vascular affection
✓possible arteritis

©️Japanese criteria
توجد معايير تشخيصه قام بوضعها خبراء يابانيون ومش هنذكرها عشان الناس ما تتلخبطش . اردت فقط ان اذكر ان هناك معايير يابانيه خاصه بمرض بهجت المناعى..

c) ≥ 3 consecutive abortions at ≤ 10 weeks
d) placental insufficiency at < 34 weeks .

B] LAB CRITERIA :
----------------------------

1) Anti- cardiolipin IgG/IgM
2) lupus anticoagulant
3) anti beta 2 glycoprotein

Musculoskeletal diseases
بكـــل بســــاطه 🎯

🅰️Articular diseases
( Mainly joint problem )

1️⃣ Inflammatory ( arthritis )
««««««««««««««««««««««««««««

ودى امراض بيكون فيها التهاب فى المفاصل وبيكون من النوع المناعى وبالتالى عدم علاج المرض مرتبط بحدوث تشوهات فى المفاصل على المدى البعيد ‼️


أنواع الامراض دى كالاتى ⤵️

🟫 Rheumatoid Arthritis { RA}
========================

ملخص المشكله فى الروماتويد ⤵️

Classic presentation ⤵️
Peripheral symmetrical Polyarthritis mainly affecting hand joints ) in the form of pain
swelling " morning " Stiffness )

The most common affected joints are
MCP , PIP , wrist joints sparing the DIP joints

The pain improves with movement & worsens at the morning with stiffness for at least 1 hour

if untreated , deformities like Swan neck , buttoniere , Z shaped thumb and Ulnar deviation would occur ‼️

it is a chronic disease in which arthritis persists more than 6 weeks

it is often "seropositive " , positive RF and /or positive Anti-CCP Ab along with ↑ inflammatory markers ( ↑ ESR & ↑ CRP )

The disease may have Extra-articular features e g RA- associated Lung fibrosis etc

The official criteria for diagnosis are⤵️

📜 اوعى تنسى ال Osteophytes

Classification ⤵️

#Peripheral Osteoarthritis
↓↓↓
Mechanical joint pain without swelling or stiffness affecting weight bearing joints ( kness, hips ) in LL and DIPs , PIPs , CMC joints in UL.

__Note ✍️ ____
Mechanical joint pain = Pain ↑ with movement and ↓ é rest , Unlike inflammatory joint pain which ↑ é rest with stiffness for at least 45 min and ↓ é movement !

#Axial Osteoarthritis ( Spondylosis )
Disc problems ‼️

ℹ️Cervical spine ( cervical Spondylosis )
⤵️
Mechanical neck pain with movement with or without compression on nerve roots or cord

ℹ️ℹ️Lumbar spine ( lumbar Spondylosis)

3️⃣ Metabolic joint diseases or Crystal arthropathy : deposition of crystals in joints )
»»»»»»⤵️»»»»»»⤵️»»»»»»⤵️»»»»»»⤵️»»»»»»

🔴 Gout :

مشكله النقرس فى الآتى ⬇️

formation of monosodium urate needle shaped crystals in joints
↪️Leading to ---> Arthritis in the form of ( pain , swelling , marked tenderness , limitation of movement ) ‼️

Classification of Gout :

Acute Monoarthritis
( knees, MTP joint; Podagra )

oligoarthritis

Chronic gout
Tophi in kidneys ( stones), Ears , hands )

~~

🔴 Pseudogout
( deposition of Calcium pyrophosphate )
2
↪️ Often associated with metabolic conditions like hypercalcemia & hemochromatosis
It is Either monoarthritis like gout
Or oligoarthritis ( 2 - 4 joints) without tophi ‼️



4️⃣ infectious joint diseases
»»»⤵️»»»⤵️»»»⤵️»»»⤵️»»»

Bacterial versus Viral

Bacterial

Septic arthritis :

✓ Acute monoarthritis caused by bacteria ( e.g staph aureus )

✓ It Affects older people with comorbidities

✓Affected joint : swollen , hot, red, tender with limitation of movement

✍️ Diagnosis ⤵️
joint aspiration ( microscopy for Neutrophils, Gram stain & culture )

⚠️It is an emergency : start IV antibiotics

Viral Arthritis
( Parvovirus B19, HBV, HIV)

✔️Often acute polyarthritis , migratory
✔️parvovirus B19 polyarthritis is acute migratory polyarthritis associated with rash ( contact with children is important risk factor)



🅱️ Bone diseases
( metabolic bone disease )
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

ℹ️ Osteomalacia ( vitamin D deficiency )
»»»»»»مرض لين العظام ««««««

المشكله فيه ⤵️
defect in osteoid tissue formation
->Leading to proximal myopathy + bone pain

Risk factors : decreased sun exposure , Vitamin D malabsorption , etc

X ray : will show looser zones

ℹ️ℹ️ Osteoporosis
»»»»»»مرض هشاشة العظام ««««««

المشكله فى المرض ده ⤵️⤵️⤵️
✔️increased osteoclastic activity
--> Bone resorption --> decreased bone mass
↪️ risk of fragility fractures

Risk factors : postmenopausal women

Diagnosis :
DEXA scan ( special imaging )

ℹ️ℹ️ℹ️ Paget's disease

المشكله فى المرض ده ⤵️
Metabolic bone disease in which there is ⬆️increased bone formation ( active osteoblasts ) +⬆️ increased bone resorption ( active osteoclasts)

It is a disease of old age

Features include ⤵️
✓bone deformities ( large skull , bowing of legs )
✓metabolic effects ( deafness, tinnitus)
✓Congestive heart failure .

Others rare disease like osteopetrosis

______

©️ Muscle diseases
( inflammation of the muscles : myositis )
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

ايه المشكله فى الامراض دى ⤵️

-Autoimmune condition characterized by the presence of autoantibodies against the muscles leading to myopathy ( proximal myopathy )

It has two types

ℹ️ Polymyositis ( muscles without skin affection )

ℹ️ℹ️dermatomyositis ( muscles affection skin affection )

Muscle affection = proximal myopathy
⤵️⤵️

✔️ UL :
The patient can't comb the hair and he can't raise the arms over the head level !

✔️LL :
The patient can't stand from seated position without support !

muscles of swallowing :
dysphagia, chocking , and aspiration

muscles of respiration : respiratory failure ( rare)

✍️ Skin affection in dermatomyositis
⤵️⤵️⤵️
✔️Face : heliotrope rash in eye lids
✔️Trunk /back : shawl sign
✔️Hands : Gottron's papules ( knuckles)

✍️ search for underlying malignancy مهم

✍️EMG is essential in diagnosis .

D] Pain Syndromes
===↘️===↘️===↘️==

Pain syndromes are either ⤵️

Diffuse muscle pain vs localized pain

ℹ️ Muscle pain ( myalgia )
=======================

#Fibromyalgia

مرض الفيبرو ميالجيا او متلازمة الالم الليفى العضلى وده مشهور جدا
🔴 Features

diffuse muscle pain allover the body
With the presence of multiple tender points

it could be primary
( mostly psychosomatic disease related to depression , stress with or without
Overlapping Chronic fatigue syndrome

it could be secondary to any collagen disease like SLE

if it primary , the general condition is good , labs are all normal

~~~~~

#Polymyalgia Rheumatica

Features

✔️ autoimmune disease characterized by
Muscle pain ( myalgia ) which affects the shoulder, or pelvic girdle with stiffness at the morning that improves with movements

✔️ it is the disease of old people

✔️it is usually associated with feature of inflammatory disease ( night sweats , weight loss , fever) high ESR
✔️it is often associated with Temporal arteritis ( type of large vessel vasculitis )



ℹ️ℹ️Localized pain syndromes
=====⤵️=========⤵️=======

#Complex regional pain syndrome
Severe pain with allodynia

#Specific syndromes

_Shoulder
Adhesive capsulitis ( frozen shoulder)
Rotator calf tendinitis

- Elbow ( e.g tennis elbow )

__Note ✍️___

🟫Features of Frozen shoulder

✓Frozen shoulder occurs when the connective tissue enclosing the joint thickens and tightens. Frozen shoulder, also called adhesive capsulitis, involves stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint. Signs and symptoms typically begin slowly, then get worse

✓ Insidious onset of vague, dull pain at the deltoid insertion. Pain with shoulder movement. Nagging pain at night, with sleep deprivation and the inability to sleep on the affected side.

✓ it is more common in diabetics
