About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Seronegative Spondyloarthritides" by Kathryn Dao, MD.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about seronegative spondyloarthritides (SpA), a group of inflammatory arthritis conditions that are characterized by the absence of certain autoantibodies in the blood. The term "seronegative" refers to the fact that patients with these conditions do not test positive for rheumatoid factor (RF) or anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies, which are commonly found in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

The seronegative spondyloarthritides include several related conditions, such as ankylosing spondylitis (AS), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), reactive arthritis (ReA), and enteropathic arthritis (EnA). These conditions share many clinical features, including inflammation in the spine, sacroiliac joints, and peripheral joints, as well as extra-articular manifestations such as uveitis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease.

The diagnosis of seronegative spondyloarthritides is based on a combination of clinical evaluation, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Treatment typically involves a combination of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), and biologic agents, depending on the severity and progression of the disease. Physical therapy and exercise are also important components of management, as they can help maintain mobility and prevent complications such as spinal deformities.

Nomenclature Classic papers used the term spondylitis deformans to designate all types of spinal arthritis– stiffness and deformity affecting the spine. Confusion as can be due to congenital conditions, infection, degenerative or inflammatory changes Thus, intepretation of historical data may not be as accurate R. Bloom and P. Smith. Skeletal Radiol 1992;21:111-114.

Historical background “A layer of new bone may be seen covering the whole length of the dorsal and lumbar spine as if some soft liquid osseous material had been poured over them, and this had subsequently hardened.” --- Connor 1694 1694 Connor: French graveyard, skeleton with unusually straight vertebrae with fused articulations and “bony” ligaments 1884 Strumpell: 2 cases of “gradual and painless ankylosis of entire spinal column and hip joints” in hospitalized patients 1892 Bechterew- upper dorsal type case complicated by meningeal and spinal cord involvment “Bechterew’s disease” 1898 Marie- described the entity as separate from all other types of arthritis involving the spine P. Zorab. Proceedings of the Royal Society of Medicine 1961;54:415-20.
Slide 7-

Historical background 1920s roentgenographic findings of sacroiliitis and syndesmophytes 1930s-1950s discovery of human skeletons from Bronze Age, Egyptian times (4500 B.C.), Viking ships (10 A.D.) with ankylosing spondylitis; Could this be a variant of RA? 1940-50s Discovery of the human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) and characterization of the MHCs 1960s- American Rheumatism Association (ARA) recognized the spondyloarthropathies as a distinct group of inflammatory arthritis 1973 Association found between HLA-B27 and the spondyloarthropathies P.

The Role of HLA-B27 Spondyloarthritis
Slide 10-

CASE STUDY 42 y.o. BM presents with a 20 year history of inflammatory back pain—wakes him up at night, gets better with activity, uveitis, and progressive stiffening of his upper back and neck. SI joint films revealed bilateral sacroiliitis, spinal x-rays showed syndesmophytes. HLA-B27 was negative. Does this patient have ankylosing spondylitis? YES
Slide 11-

Pathogenesis Etiology/pathogenesis unclear Interplay of genetic, immunologic and environmental factors Interaction between MHC-I molecule HLA-B27 with T cell response believed to be key in pathogenesis. 94% of AS patients are HLA-B27+(OR 161 [CI 113-230]) Bacterial infections may trigger events M Tc HLAB27 Intense Inflammatory response Ag TCR McMichael A and Bowness P. Arthritis Res 2002;4 (suppl 3):S153-8.
Slide 12-

Role of HLA-B27 Has a role in presenting protein antigens that have been synthesized in the cell (viral, tumor, self-derived) to cytotoxic T-cells HLA-B27 individuals are less efficient at elimination of intracellular organisms (e.g, Chlamydia) and certain enteric bacteria Unclear if disease susceptibility is due to presentation of an arthritogenic peptide vs. failure to eliminate intracellular organisms vs. itself acting as a source of Ag 25 different subtypes have been identified: B*2705, B*2704, B*2702 or B*2707 have accounted for most of the spondyloarthritides McMichael A and Bowness P. Arthritis Res 2002;4 (suppl 3):S153-8.
Slide 13-

HLA molecules are believed to have evolved in response to environmental stressors (e.g, viral infections) HLA-B27 is a normal gene found in 8% of Caucasians 3-4% of African-Americans 1% of Orientals. Risk developing AS in ANY HLA-B27(+) person is only 10%. there is 20-30% risk to 1st degree relatives with AS No justification to test asymptomatic relatives!

1. Clinical components: (a) Low back pain and stiffness for more than 3 months which improves with exercise, but is not relieved by rest. (b) Limitation of motion of the lumbar spine in both the sagittal and frontal planes (c) Limitation of chest expansion relative to normal values correlated for age and sex 2. Radiological component: Sacroiliitis grade > 2 bilaterally or grade 3-4 unilaterally Modified NY Classification Criteria for AS (1984) Definite AS if the radiological criterion is associated with at least 1 clinical criterion. Probable AS if: 1) Three clinical criteria present 2) radiologic criterion is present wtihout any sign or symptoms satisfying the clinical criteria (other sources of sacroiliitis should be considered) van der Linden et al., Arthritis Rheum 1984;27:361 Van der Linden S, Valkenburg HA, Cats A.
