Abstract
- This article discusses a case report of a 56-year-old female with pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) secondary to synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome. The patient had a history of joint pain and skin symptoms associated with SAPHO syndrome, and her PAH symptoms worsened over time. After treatment with a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, the patient experienced improvement in her joint pain and shortness of breath. This case highlights the importance of considering PAH as a potential complication of SAPHO syndrome and suggests that JAK inhibitors may be effective in treating this condition.
