RESUMO
As complicações associadas à COVID-19 incluem insuficiência renal, miocardite, eventos trombóticos e retinite. No entanto, outras manifestações, como a artrite reativa, também parecem estar atreladas a este vírus e precisam ser mais bem investigadas. O caso relatado se refere a uma paciente de 32 anos, do sexo feminino, na cidade do Rio de Janeiro (RJ), que desenvolveu um quadro de artrite reativa após 5 dias da manifestação de sintomas gripais. Foram realizados exames laboratoriais, GeneXpert para COVID-19 e punção do líquido sinovial. Observou-se GeneXpert positivo para COVID-19, aumento nos marcadores inflamatórios, marcadores sorológicos de autoimunidade não reagentes e cultura negativa no líquido sinovial. Esses resultados descartam artrite séptica, bem como artrite reumatoide, passando a ser considerado o quadro de artrite pós-infecciosa decorrente do SARS-CoV-2.
Complications associated with COVID-19 include renal failure, myocarditis, thrombotic events, and retinitis. However, other manifestations, such as reactive arthritis, also seem to be associated with infection and require further investigation. We report the case of a 32-year-old woman in Rio de Janeiro, RJ who developed reactive arthritis 5 days after the onset of flulike symptoms. Laboratory tests, GeneXpert for COVID-19, and synovial fluid puncture were performed. Positive GeneXpert results for COVID-19, increased inflammatory markers, non-reactive serological markers of autoimmunity, and negative culture in synovial fluid were observed. These results ruled out both septic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, leading to a diagnosis of postinfectious arthritis resulting from SARS-CoV-2.

AIMS: Investigate the involvement of the histaminergic projections from tuberomammillary nucleus (TMN) to the spinal cord in the modulation of nociception and peripheral edema in a model of monoarthritis. MAIN METHODS: Subacute monoarthritis was induced by an intraarticular injection of carrageenan followed by LPS 72 h later. Disability and joint edema were assessed at the 3rd hour after LPS and at every hour up to 6 h. KEY FINDINGS: Intrathecal administration of histamine potentiated joint incapacitation and edema, while the H1R antagonist cetirizine decreased both. The H3R agonist immepip decreased both incapacitation and edema, while the H3R antagonist thioperamide had the opposite effect. The microinjection of glutamate into the ventral TMN (vTMN) caused an increase of incapacitation and articular edema, whereas the blockade of this nucleus by cobalt chloride inhibited both parameters. Intrathecal administration of cetirizine prevented the increase of incapacitation and joint edema caused by glutamate microinjection into the vTMN. Similarly, an intrathecal injection of the NKCC1 cotransporter inhibitor bumetanide prevented the effects of glutamate microinjection into the vTMN, whereas coadministration of histamine with bumetanide only inhibited the potentiation of joint edema. A microinjection of orexin B into the vTMN potentiated incapacitation and joint edema, while coadministration of the OX1/2 receptor antagonist almorexant with orexin B did not. SIGNIFICANCE: These data support the notion that TMN participates in the modulation of a peripheral inflammatory process by means of histaminergic projections to the spinal cord, and the hypothalamus may trigger TMN activation by means of glutamate and orexin.

Resumen LA enfermedad de Poncet es una poliartritis aséptica reactiva poco frecuente que ocurre durante cualquier etapa de una infección activa pulmonar o extrapulmonar por Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Existen apenas 200 casos descritos en la bibliografía y hasta el momento permanece como diagnóstico de exclusión sin patogenia bien definida. Suele responder rápida y satisfactoriamente al tratamiento antituberculoso sin dejar secuelas. Este artículo revisa la epidemiología, patogenia, manifestación clínica, diagnóstico, tratamiento y pronóstico de la enfermedad de Poncet.
Abstract Poncet's disease is a rarely reported aseptic reactive polyarthritis associated to active pulmonary or extrapulmonary infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. There are no more than 200 cases reported in the literature and still remains as a diagnosis of exclusion with unknown pathogenesis. It quickly and remarkably resolves with antituberculous drugs, has usually a good prognosis and does not turn into chronic arthritis. This article reviews the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment options and prognosis of Poncet's disease.
RESUMO
Introducción: existe un debate en la actualidad acerca de si la artritis reactiva post-estreptocócica es una entidad separada o una condición en el espectro de la fiebre reumática aguda. Objetivo: revisar la literatura existente sobre el tema artritis reactiva post-estreptocócica. Desarrollo : se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica en Medline, Pubmed, Scielo y Dialnet, buscando como palabras clave: artritis y artritis reactiva post-estreptocócica. Además de la búsqueda computadorizada se realizó una búsqueda manual. Dichas bases de datos recogen las publicaciones más importantes en el campo científico de la medicina. La búsqueda se realizó en abril del 2018, y comprendió desde el año 1989 hasta la actualidad. Utilizamos el programa Reference Manager, versión 12, para crear una base de datos con las publicaciones, categorizarlas y filtrarlas de acuerdo a su relevancia para nuestro estudio. Se recabaron un total de 45 documentos en total, de los cuales fueron descartados unos 30, debido a su nivel de generalización y escasa especificidad en el tema abordado. Conclusiones: los signos clásicos de tumefacción, eritema, calor y dolor están presentes, siendo el dolor el más importante, está presente en reposo y aumenta con los movimientos. Como en la FR, la artritis postestreptocócica es una artritis reactiva caracterizada por una infección faríngeaestreptocócica, un intervalo libre y una posterior inflamación aséptica en una o más articulaciones(AU)
Introduction: there is currently debate about whether post-streptococcal reactive arthritis is a separate entity or condition in the spectrum of acute rheumatic fever. Objective: to review the existing literature on the topic post-streptococcal reactive arthritis. Development: a bibliographic search was carried out in Medline, Pubmed, Scielo and Dialnet, searching as keywords: arthritis and post-streptococcal reactive arthritis. In addition to the computerized search, a manual search was carried out. These databases collect the most important publications in the scientific field of medicine. The search was conducted in April 2018, and ran from 1989 to the present. We use the Reference Manager program, version 12, to create a database with publications, categorize them and filter them according to their relevance to our study. A total of 45 documents were collected, of which about 30 were discarded, due to their level of generalization and lack of specificity in the topic addressed. Conclusions: the classic signs of swelling, erythema, heat and pain are present, with pain being the most important, it is present at rest and increases with movements. As in RF, post-streptococcal arthritis is a reactive arthritis characterized by a pharyngeal-streptococcal infection, a free interval and subsequent aseptic inflammation in one or more joints(AU)

The objective of the study is to determine the risk factors for the development of reactive arthritis (ReA) and examine the factors associated with the persistence of symptoms. Patients with a new diagnosis of ReA and controls with a gastrointestinal (GI), urogenital, or sexually transmitted infection in the 3-6 months prior to study entry were prospectively enrolled in Guatemala City. ReA patients fulfilled the Assessment in Spondyloarthritis International Society criteria for peripheral spondyloarthropathy (SpA). Patients underwent history, examination, Achilles tendon ultrasound, and blood draw. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) type and serum biomarkers were measured. t tests and nonparametric equivalents were used to examine the association of clinical, laboratory, and imaging factors with ReA. Patients were contacted 2 years later to assess for persistence of symptoms. Study subjects included patients with ReA (N = 32) and controls (N = 32). ReA patients were most frequently infected in April whereas controls were most frequently infected in August. Two ReA patients and two controls were HLA-B27-positive. Serum cathepsin K and C-reactive protein were higher in ReA patients compared to controls (p = 0.03 for both), while total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein were lower (p = 0.008 and 0.045, respectively). Among those with ReA, 15 (47%) patients had continued symptoms at 2 years. These patients had a lower matrix metalloproteinase-3 level at diagnosis than patients for whom ReA resolved (p = 0.004). HLA-B27 was not associated with development of ReA in Guatemala; however, the month of infection was associated with ReA. The most striking finding was the persistence of arthritis at 2 years in nearly half of the patients.

BACKGROUND: Poncet's disease is a rare syndrome characterized by articular impairment in a form of rare tuberculid. One of the theories of its cause involves an autoimmune response induced by the intravesical administration of the Calmette-Guerin Bacillus or the treatment of bladder carcinoma. Furthermore, there may be an appearance of oligoarticular or polyarticular arthritis, beginning 1-3 months after the start of therapy. Few physicians know the disease and the literature related to that syndrome is scarce and restricted to case reports, which contributes to its under diagnosis. CASE PRESENTATION: Female patient, 64 years old, Caucasian, in whom was noticed firstly dark urine, without haematuria or dysuria. Later felt also colic pain in the hypogastric region. Microscopically, the conclusive diagnosis was a high grade non-invasive papillary urothelial carcinoma. Thereupon, the treatment of the tumour began with transurethral resection technique and intravesical instillation of Calmette-Guérin Bacillus as adjuvant treatment. Eight months after the beginning of treatment, the lingering presence of the carcinoma was identified. Nevertheless, arthritis was identified through radiographs, after an increase in the clavicle capitation, right knee and left ankle in bone scintigraphy. Coinciding with the joint manifestations, the patient developed fever and purulent urethral discharge (culture was negative). Therefore, trying to investigate the cause of the arthritis, Purified Protein Derivate was taken, with reactive results. An increase of acute phase reactants was found, with other tests resulting normal: blood chemistry, Complete Blood Count, immunology and serology. Human Leukocyte Antigen typing by polymerase chain reaction revealed the presence of A24/AX, B44, B27, BW4/BW4, DQ7 and DQ5. Consequently, Poncet's disease was the diagnostic conclusion. The treatment with intravesical Calmette-Guérin Bacillus was immediately discontinued. The patient received corticosteroids associated with etoricoxib and isoniazid for 4 months, achieving disappearance of the inflammatory joint signs in 3 months. After 6 months, no joint pain recurrence or other manifestations suggesting active disease had been seen. CONCLUSIONS: Therefore, such diagnosis should be considered when confronted with an osteoarticular clinical picture in patients treated with intravesical Calmette-Guérin Bacillus, especially patients with HLA-B27 (+) and B7 (+), as Poncet's disease is a reactive arthritis.

Reactive arthritis describes the relationship between the host and the environment. This leads to urogenital or gastrointestinal infections. It clinically presents with inflammatory lumbosacral pain, asymmetric oligoarthritis and enthesitis of the Achilles tendon and plantar fascia. Among the extra-articular manifestations are acute anterior uveitis, skin lesions, genital lesions, and oral ulcers, with the rarest being cardiovascular. A case is presented of a patient with a urogenital infection and cardiovascular manifestations, interpreted and managed as acute coronary syndrome. After further studies an acute myopericarditis was considered as a primary manifestation of reactive arthritis.
La artritis reactiva describe la interrelación entre el hospedero y el medio ambiente. Aparece después de infecciones urogenitales o digestivas. Clínicamente presenta dolor lumbosacro inflamatorio, oligoartritis asimétrica y entesitis del tendón de Aquiles y la fascia plantar. Entre las manifestaciones extraarticulares, se encuentran la uveítis anterior aguda, lesiones en piel, lesiones genitales y úlceras orales. Las más infrecuentes son las cardiovasculares. Describimos el caso de un paciente con infección urogenital y manifestaciones cardiovasculares interpretadas y manejadas como síndrome coronario agudo, pero que a la luz de estudios posteriores se consideró finalmente una miopericarditis aguda como manifestación primaria de una artritis reactiva.

BACKGROUND: Deaths due to tuberculosis have reached 2.5 million cases per year worldwide. Poncet's disease is an infrequent form of tuberculosis characterised by a clinical picture of polyarthritis. CLINICAL CASE: A 24-year-old male presented with morning stiffness, arthralgias, bilateral symmetric arthritis of the proximal interphalangeal joints, wrists, knees, ankles, and shoulders, and adenomegalies at the cervical, submandibular, left supraclavicular, axillary and inguinal levels, without fever. Laboratory results were as follows: ESR 44mm/h, C-reactive protein 4.35, normal levels of complement C3 and C4, negative rheumatoid factor and anticyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies, positive antinuclear antibodies with fine speckled pattern (1:320) and cytoplasm (1:160) pattern and negative anti-Smith, -double-stranded DNA, Sjogren's syndrome-antigen A and Sjogren's syndrome-antigen B. Histological report of cervical node tissue revealed granulomatous lesions compatible with tuberculosis. Rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus were ruled out. Anti-tuberculosis agents were initiated that resolved the clinical picture. Diagnosis of Poncet's disease was confirmed. CONCLUSION: The differential diagnosis between tuberculosis and autoimmune inflammatory joint diseases is a clinical challenge.
