- Title
DACTILITA: O MANIFESTARE INSOLITĂ DE INTERES REUMATOLOGIC.
- Authors
Boloşiu, H. D.
- Abstract
This is a review of the literature dedicated to a clinical manifestation of some rheumatic disorders frequently overlooked or wrongly appreciated in current practice -- inflammation of a whole digit or dactylitis. The socalled „rheumatologic‟ dactylitis is strongly associated to spondyloarthropathies where it may represent a criterion for diagnosis, evolution or prognosis. In addition, other forms of dactylitis are of interest for the rheumatologist in differentiating the true dactylitis from similar manifestations that occur in other diseases, such as tuberculosis, syphilis, sarcoidosis or sickle cell anemia. Pathophysiology of the dactylitis is also discussed.
