A survey was carried out from october 1973 to december 1979 of fourteen newborn who presented septic arthritis secondary to sepsis, developed during their admission at our neonatology unit. Authors point out the high incidence of Klebsiella as the organism isolated in 48% of the positive cultures and the good response to general and local treatments. A discussion is done on the sequels and their long-term evolution.

A drug-induced sarcoidosis-like reaction (DISR) is a systemic granulomatous reaction indistinguishable from sarcoidosis and is associated with the administration of a medication. It typically exhibits a temporal relationship with the initiation of the drug (an average interval of 22 months) and tends to improve upon its discontinuation. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists, including adalimumab, have been associated with the development of DISR.

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome and haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) are rare but severe immune-mediated diseases with overlapping clinical manifestations. We present a case of a woman in her late 40s with rheumatoid arthritis who developed DRESS/HLH overlap syndrome after starting hydroxychloroquine and leflunomide therapy. Despite corticosteroid treatment, her condition worsened, necessitating etoposide therapy.

Low back pain is common in women, especially during pregnancy and puerperium. Septic sacroiliitis, a rare cause of back pain in the postpartum period can mimic other common causes of low back pain like muscle strain, urinary tract infection, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis and intervertebral disc prolapse. The proximity of the sacroiliac joint to the sacral nerve plexus results in septic sacroiliitis frequently presenting with symptoms mimicking intervertebral disc prolapse.

Introduction: Periodontitis is associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). One hypothesis posits that this connection arises from the formation of autoantibodies against citrullinated proteins (ACPA) in inflamed gums, possibly triggered by . We previously demonstrated an increased antibody response to arginine gingipains (anti-Rgp IgG), not only in individuals with severe periodontitis compared to controls, but in RA versus controls, with an association to ACPA.
