RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) and plantar fasciitis share similar risk factors including ageing, occupation, obesity, and inappropriate shoe wear. However, the association between knee OA and heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis has received limited attention to date. AIM: We aimed to assess the prevalence of plantar fasciitis using ultrasound in patients with knee OA and to identify factors associated with plantar fasciitis in these patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study including patients with Knee OA, fulfiling the European League Against Rheumatism criteria. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) and the Lequesne indexes were used to evaluate pain and function of the knees. The Manchester Foot Pain and Disability Index (MFPDI) was used to estimate foot pain and disability. Each patient underwent a physical examination, plain radiographs of the knees and the heels, and an ultrasound examination of both heels to find signs of plantar fasciitis. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS. RESULTS: We included 40 knee OA patients, with a mean age of 59.85 ± 9.65 years [32-74] and a male-to-female ratio of 0.17. The mean WOMAC was 34.03 ± 19.9 [4-75]. The mean Lequesne for knees was 9.62 ± 4.57 [3-16.5]. Among our patients, 52% (n = 21) experienced heel pain. The heel pain was severe in 19% (n = 4). The mean MFPDI was 4.67 ± 4.16 [0-8]. Limited ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion were noted in 47% of patients (n = 17) each. High and low arch deformities were seen in 23% (n = 9) and 40% (n = 16) of patients. Ultrasound revealed a thickened plantar fascia in 62% (n = 25). An abnormal hypoechoic plantar fascia was noted in 47% (n = 19), with the loss of normal fibrillar architecture in 12 cases (30%). No Doppler signal was exhibited. Patients with plantar fasciitis had significantly limited dorsiflexion (n = 2 (13%) versus n = 15 (60%), p = 0.004) and plantar flexion (n = 3 (20%) versus n = 14 (56%), p = 0.026). The range of supination was also less important in the plantar fasciitis group (17.73 ± 4.1 vs. 12.8 ± 6.46, p = 0.027). The low arch was statistically more present in patients with plantar fasciitis (G1: 36% [n = 9] vs. G0: 0% [n = 0], p = 0.015). However, the high arch deformity was statistically more present in patients without plantar fasciitis (G1: 28% [n = 7] vs. G0: 60% [n = 9], p = 0.046). Multivariate analysis showed that the risk factor for plantar fasciitis in knee OA patients was limited dorsiflexion (OR = 3.889, 95% CI [0.017-0.987], p = 0.049). CONCLUSION: In conclusion, our work showed that plantar fasciitis is frequent in knee OA patients, with reduced ankle dorsiflexion being the main risk factor for plantar fasciitis in these patients.

RESUMO

Patients with auto-immune disease are more susceptible to infection than similar populations without auto-immune disease. Vaccination seems to be one of the most effective methods to prevent patients from possible infections, but may be impaired by concomitant immunomodulators. The aim of this review was to evaluate the effect of immunosuppressive drugs on vaccination efficiency. We found that the majority of studies confirms that neither the use of corticosteroids and conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) nor the use of biological agents, except rituximab, reduce the efficacy of inactivated vaccines such as pneumococcal and influenza vaccines. Even if rituximab has been shown to reduce humoral responses following influenza and pneumococcal vaccination, this response can be modestly restored 6-10 months after rituximab administration. To sum up, treatment guidelines recommending routine use of pneumococcal and influenza vaccines for immune compromised patients should be followed in order to avoid severe infections.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Digital necrosis is a frequent vascular disease. Its very often reflects arterial disorders of macro or mirocirculation. Paraneoplastic digital necrosis is rare, however. AIM: Report a new case of paraneoplastic digital necrosis CASE: Our patient was a 62-year old diabetic female patient with a history of total thyroid ablation at 50 year old. She presented with bilateral digital necrosis of the second, third and fourth fingers. During her recovery, we have found a biological inflammatory syndrome and abdominal echography revealed a metastatic liver. Radiological investigations in search for the primitive tumour were negative. The patient was referred to a specialized center for a palliative chemotherapy. CONCLUSION: Etiologies of digital necrosis are various, mainly iatrogen, professional, toxic, atheroma or systemic disease. In case of no evident cause, explorations should be gone to detect underlying malignancies.

RESUMO

Jaccoud's arthropathy (JA) is a chronic deformity affecting hands and feet, which are voluntarily correctable by the patients. JA was usually reported in association with rheumatic fever and systemic lupus erythematosus. We describe an exceptional association between a pyrophosphate arthropathy and JA of the hands. It is a 48-year-old woman, having a 13 years history of polyarthritis involving shoulders, elbows, hips and knees, and 4 years after, a progressive unlar deviation of the fingers of the hands. Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals were identified in the synovial knee biopsy. Hands x-rays as RMI don't identify erosions and confirmed the JA.
