[PAGID] Seeking help with what appears tobe anautosomal dominant inflammatory disorder

[Fleisher, Thomas (NIH/CC/DLM) [E]]

I would not even medal, have not forgotten the paper and should have a
marked version by tomorrow. I will also ask Koneti what is going on at
their end, any word from Nancy?

If only internet searches was an olympic sport! I could be the Michael
Phelps (on a 1500 calorie diet).

Dear Colleagues

We have a 15 month old girl who has two episodes of osteomyelitis,
effecting
humerus and radius/ulna.  Both episodes appeared to start in the
adjacent
joint (elbow and wrist) where there was a purulent effusion, before
spreading to involve bone, were refractory to antibiotics, no organisms
were
isolated despite multiple attempts, histopathology showed only a minor
plasma cell infiltrate on later samples and immunodeficiency screen was
negative.  Inflammatory markers (ESR/ CRP) were moderately elevated
during
the course of the disease.  She seemed to improve markedly with NSAIDs.


Her mother also suffered 5-6 documented episodes of osteomyelitis (often
at
a site near to a joint) with moderately raised inflammatory markers, and
multiple episodes of what was thought to be septic arthritis with pus in
the
joint, but again with no organisms identified and negative
immunodeficiency
screen. She had occasional other infections including one buttock
abscess,
an episode of pneumonia and several UTI's.  She has gone on to have a
seronegative arthritis in adult life with difficult scarring acne of
onset
in mid 30's.  

We wondered whether this is on the CRMO/SAPHO spectrum, but could find
little evidence for the existence of such an early onset autosomal
dominant
phenomenon.
