Importância do raio X e exame físico no diagnóstico da artrite psoriática e sua prevalência no Hospital Universitário Evangélico de Curitiba (HUEC)

Abstract: FUNDAMENTOS: A artrite psoriática (AP) é doença inflamatória associada com a psoríase da pele ou das unhas, com fator reumatóide (FR) negativo e ausência de nódulos reumatóides. Pode ser extremamente agressiva, deixando o paciente incapacitado para realizar funções do dia-a-dia. A prevalência populacional é muito variável; historicamente oscila entre 2,6% e 7%, mas estudos recentes demonstram porcentagem variável de 23 a 69% na população com psoríase. O diagnóstico é de exclusão e, se realizado na fase inicial… Show more

“…Using a detailed physical examination and radiographic assessment, Machado et al [21] also estimated the prevalence of PsA at the University Hospital of Curitiba, Brazil, among 30 patients (16 women and 14 men) with skin psoriasis without overt PsA. Half of these carefully assessed patients complained of arthralgia; however, only three were diagnosed as having PsA, thus yielding a prevalence figure of 10% [21].…”

“…The articular disease manifestations occur approximately 10 years after the first signs of skin psoriasis. PA belongs to a group of inflammatory arthritis called spondyloarthropathies and shares some clinical and laboratorial characteristics with other diseases within the same group [10], making the differential diagnosis more challenging. The clinical manifestations of PA rarely include TMJ symptoms, which is usually bilateral causing pain and limitation of jaw movement.…”
