| heal.abstract | Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in patients suffering from hemoglobinopathies is an important clinical problem, but the correlation between these diseases is still imperfectly known. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical, serological and radiological characteristics of RA occurring in patients with hemoglobinopathies (thalassemia major, thalassemia intermedia and sickle-cell disease). In a single institution, in an adult cohort of 90 patients with hemoglobinopathies, we investigated retrospectively medical records of the patients. We evaluated the clinical findings, the autoantibodies and the radiological progression of patients who were diagnosed with RA according the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria for RA. There were found 4 patients, with thalassemia major, who fulfilling the ACR criteria for RA. The clinical picture of the patients revealed a mild form of arthritis of the knees, shoulders, wrist and hands, while one patient had episcleritis. All patients had radiological damage compatible with RA (Larsen's score, 28.75 +/- 29). All had positive rheumatoid factor, while anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies were positive in 1 patient. Three patients received steroid treatment and one immunosuppressive agent (methotrexate). True RA with low frequency of extra-articular manifestations is described. The diagnosis of RA must be suspected in patients with hemoglobinopathies picture and chronic arthritis of small joints. | en |
