To the best of our knowledge, the association of rheumatoid arthritis and tabetic arthropathy has never been described before in the literature. We report here a first observation. We report the case of a 50-year-old man, treated for syphilitic arthritis evolving for 4 years, who presented with a table of rheumatoid arthritis. The diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis was established according to the 2010 American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism criteria (ACR/EULAR). The treatment was based on weekly injection of methotrexate and a symptomatic treatment by corticosteroid. The association of rheumatoid arthritis and tabetic arthropathy is rare, to our knowledge this is the first case reported. This case reminds us that a neuropathic arthropathy as tabetic arthropathy, although it is rare, can be associated in a sporadic or exceptional way with other rheumatic disease like rheumatoid arthritis. A physiopathological link between the both diseases remains to be proved.

Objectives: To compare the value of musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) with conventional radiography in the detection of patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to correlate the sonographic findings with disease activity, and functional disability scores.
Methods: Patients >18 years of age with RA ≤2 years who satisfied the 2010 EULAR/ACR classification criteria for rheumatoid arthritis and disease activity score 28 (DAS28) >2.6, were enrolled.

Background: Autoimmune disorders have primary manifestations such as joint pain and bowel inflammation but can also have secondary manifestations such as non-infectious uveitis (NIU). A regulatory health authority raised concerns after receiving spontaneous reports for NIU following exposure to Remicade, a biologic therapy with multiple indications for which alternative therapies are available. In assessment of this clinical question, we applied validity diagnostics to support observational data causal inferences.

Rational use of steroids is essential in the long term for improving patient safety. Systemic steroids are important in clinical treatment, but if they are misused, they might have negative effects. This study assessed systemic steroid use and its determinants at Debre Berhan University Hakim Gizawu Teaching Hospital (DBUHGTH), Ethiopia.
