Article Synopsis
- Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare autoimmune disorder that causes recurring inflammation in cartilaginous tissues, affecting areas like the ears, nose, and joints.
- A 68-year-old woman without prior health issues showed symptoms like hoarseness, polyarthritis, and nasal/ear involvement, leading to her RP diagnosis using the Modified McAdam criteria.
- She was treated with intravenous cyclophosphamide and oral prednisolone, which improved her condition, while osteoporosis was treated with zoledronic acid, highlighting RP's role in patient assessments involving similar symptoms.
