Abstract
- 74-year-old female patient with IgA vasculitis was referred for rheumatic evaluation due to arthritic complaints and hand deformities. Physical examination revealed reversible Jaccoud's arthropathy in both hands, with swan-neck type deformities, while no erosions were present in the X-Ray. Jaccoud's arthropathy is mainly observed can be present in patients with in Rheumatic Fever, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, and Sjogren's syndrome. The absence of erosions distinguishes this entity from rheumatoid arthritis. There is no specific treatment other than the treatment of the underlying disease.<br /> (© 2022 The Mediterranean Journal of Rheumatology (MJR).)
