RHEUMATOLOGY 662 FIGURE 17.11. The 18 tender points used in the diagnosis of fibromyalgia. Classification criteria are those of the American College of Rheumatology. (Reproduced, with permission, from Imboden JB et al. Current Diagnosis & Treatment in Rheumatology, 2nd ed. New York: McGraw-Hill, 2006.) Low cervical: at the anterior aspect of the interspaces between the transverse processes of C5–C7 Lateral epicondyle: 2 cm distal to the lateral epicondyle Second rib: just lateral to the second costochondral j unctions Supraspinatus: above the scapular spine near the medial border Occiput: at the insertions of one or more of the following muscles: trapezius, sternocleidomastoid, splenius capitis, semispinalis capitis Trapezius: at the midpoint of the upper border Gluteal: at the upper outer quadrant of the buttocks at the anterior edge of the gluteus maximus Greater trochanter: posterior to the greater trochanteric prominence Knee: at the medial fat pad proximal to the joint line Posterior view Anterior view RHEUMATOLOGY 663 ■ Trigger-point injections and myofascial release are of uncertain benefit. Randomized, controlled clinical trials of dry needling, saline injec- tions, anesthetic injections, botulinum toxin, acupuncture, and sham acupuncture as therapies have not shown significant benefit beyond nonspecific, placebo-related effects. Ultrasound treatment of myofas- cial “trigger points” is no more effective in reducing pain than sham ul- trasound. Pharmacologic treatment includes the following: ■ First-line agents: Low-dose TCAs (e.g., amitriptyline) at bedtime in com- bination with a centrally acting muscle relaxant (e.g., cyclobenzaprine) di- vided 2–4 times daily. Studies show conflicting results regarding the effi- cacy of SSRIs in fibromyalgia. ■ Sleep disturbances: If good sleep hygiene and sleep medications are inef- fective, request a formal sleep study to identify sleep apnea and restless leg syndrome, which are particularly common in fibromyalgia. ■ Depression: Encourage formal or informal counseling and treat pharma- cologically. COMPLICATIONS The adverse impact of fibromyalgia on the patient, family, and society is high. More than 25% of patients receive some type of disability or other compensa- tion payment. TABLE 17.16.

Neurologic disorders Carpal tunnel syndrome, a MS, a sleep apnea, a cervical stenosis. a Psychiatric disorders Vitamin D deficiency a Commonly encountered diagnoses. RHEUMATOLOGY 664 MISCELLANEOUS DISEASES Adult Still’s Disease ■ Sx/Exam: Presents with high-spiking fevers, diaphoresis, chills, sore throat, an evanescent salmon-colored rash coincident with fevers, erosive arthritis, serositis, and lymphadenopathy. ■ Dx: Laboratory findings include leukocytosis, anemia, seronegativity, transaminitis, and hyperferritinemia. ■ Tx: Treat with NSAIDs and corticosteroids. Sarcoidosis ■ Arthritis associated with sarcoidosis is either acute or chronic. See the Pul- monary Medicine chapter for nonarticular manifestations of sarcoidosis. ■ Acute sarcoid arthritis = Löfgren’s syndrome, which presents with peri- arthritis (most commonly of the ankle/knee), erythema nodosum, and hi- lar adenopathy on CXR. Resolution of acute disease occurs in 2–16 weeks with minimal therapy, NSAIDs, and colchicine. ■ Chronic sarcoid arthritis usually involves minimally inflamed joints with synovial swelling/granulomata. Treat with NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressants. Cholesterol Emboli Syndrome Precipitated by invasive arterial procedures in patients with atherosclerotic disease. Features include fever, livedo reticularis, cyanosis/gangrene of the digits, vasculitic/ischemic ulcerations, eosinophilia, renal failure, and other end-organ damage. Musculoskeletal Complications of Diabetes Mellitus Include the following: ■ CPPD: Pseudogout; acute symptomatic chondrocalcinosis. ■ Diabetic cheiroarthropathy: Diabetic stiff hand syndrome plus prayer sign on exam. ■ Carpal tunnel syndrome: Median nerve neuropathy. ■ Flexor tenosynovitis: “Trigger finger.” ■ Adhesive capsulitis: “Frozen shoulder.” ■ Neuropathic arthritis: Charcot joint, diabetic osteoarthropathy. ■ Other: Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, Dupuytren contractures, diabetic muscle infarction. Consider Still’s in a young adult with fever of unknown origin and markedly elevated ferritin (usually > 1000) whose workup for infection and malignancy is ᮎ.

WOMEN’S HEALTH 671 ■ Diuretics are usually avoided despite a lack of clear evidence regarding their potential ill effects. ■ β-blockers and calcium channel blockers are generally considered ac- ceptable for use during pregnancy. ■ Methyldopa has the longest record of safety during pregnancy but has many side effects. HELLP SYNDROME ■ Consists of Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes, and Low Platelets. Con- sidered a variant of preeclampsia. ■ May be associated with renal dysfunction (but this is not required for diag- nosis). TABLE 18.3.

WOMEN’S HEALTH 679 plications of hip fractures is equal to that from breast cancer in women > 50 years of age. Risk factors and disease associations include the following: ■ White or Asian ethnicity ■ Low weight ■ Menopause (especially early or surgical menopause) ■ Glucocorticoid use or Cushing’s syndrome ■ Estrogen deficiency states (e.g., anorexia nervosa) ■ Tobacco or alcohol use ■ A family history of osteoporosis ■ Older age ■ A history of falls ■ Poor eyesight ■ Immobilization ■ Calcium/vitamin D deficiency or malabsorption (e.g., celiac disease, IBD) ■ Thyrotoxicosis or levothyroxine overreplacement ■ Hyperparathyroidism ■ Medications (antiepileptic drugs, heparin) See the Endocrinology chapter for further details on the 2° causes of osteo- porosis and osteoporosis in men. SYMPTOMS/EXAM ■ May be asymptomatic or may present with back pain, loss of height, or nonspinal fractures. ■ Exam may be normal. Patients may be thin and have a “dowager’s hump” (kyphosis). DIAGNOSIS ■ DEXA imaging measures bone mineral density (BMD) at the spine and hip. ■ Osteoporosis is diagnosed if BMD (as measured by the T-score) is ≥ 2.5 standard deviations below that of a young, normal woman (T-score <−2.5). ■ Osteopenia is defined as a T-score between −1.0 and −2.5. ■ Z-scores compare a patient’s BMD with age- and gender-matched norms. A low Z-score (<−2) should raise suspicion for 2° causes of osteoporosis. ■ Osteoporosis can be diagnosed clinically in the presence of vertebral or other fragility fractures (e.g., hip fractures, Colles’ fracture of the wrist). ■ Quantitative CT and ultrasound are other methods sometimes used to di- agnose osteoporosis. TREATMENT ■ Calcium 1500 mg QD; vitamin D 800 IU QD; weight-bearing exercises for all women unless contraindications exist. ■ Smoking cessation. ■ Fall prevention measures (handrails, assistive devices for ambulation, bal- ance exercises) for frail patients. ■ Bisphosphonates (alendronate, risedronate) are first-line agents. They im- prove BMD and ↓ the incidence of vertebral and hip fractures by up to > 50%. ■ Estrogen slows BMD loss and thus helps prevent osteoporosis, but it is not generally recommended for this indication because of its adverse effects. Osteopenia is defined as a T-score of −1.0 to −2.5. Osteoporosis is diagnosed when the T-score is <−2.5. WOMEN’S HEALTH EXAM Conduct a pelvic exam, particularly for the following: ■ Vulvar edema/erythema. ■ Discharge: Quantity, color, adherence, odor. ■ Cervicitis: Friability, purulent discharge, “strawberry cervix” (petechiae in trichomonal infection). DIFFERENTIAL UTI, normal (physiologic) discharge, cancer, noninfectious/irritants (spermi- cide, douching), atrophy. DIAGNOSIS ■ Wet mount (pH and microscopy in saline and KOH) (see Table 18.6 and Figure 18.2). ■ Consider UA and/or STD testing. TABLE 18.6.
