The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between hypovitaminosis D and disease activity in Moroccan children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, forty children with JIA were included, all having been diagnosed according to the classification criteria of International League of Associations for Rheumatology (ILAR). The children underwent anthropometric assessment and clinical evaluation. Disease activity was measured using the Disease Activity Score in 28 joints (DAS28) for polyarticular and oligoarticular JIA and the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) for enthesitis-related arthritis. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin [25(OH)D] D 2 and D 3 were measured using radioimmunoassay (RIA). Hypovitaminosis D was defined as serum 25(OH)D <30 ng/ml. Results: The average age of participants was 11 years ± 4.23. Hypovitaminosis D was observed in 75% of patients. In univariate analyses, 25(OH)D levels were negatively associated with DAS28 for polyarticular and oligoarticular JIA. No significant relationship was found between 25(OH)D levels and BASDAI for juvenile spondylarthropathy. In multivariate linear regression analysis, no association persisted between 25(OH)D levels and DAS28. Conclusions: Our study suggested that serum levels of vitamin D were low in Moroccan children with JIA disease. Future studies with a larger population are needed to confirm our results.

Phalangeal acroosteolysis is a rare idiopathic form. We report a case in a 13-year-old girl with a 2-year history of swelling and skin ulcers of the second and third left fingers and second right finger. The fingers were abnormally short and the nails were hypertrophic. Roentgenograms disclosed terminal phalangeal resorption in the fingers and toes. Findings were normal from tests for inflammation and dysimmunity. Biopsies of the skin lesions showed fibrosis without inflammation. Neurological evaluation and electromyographic study were normal. Serological tests for syphilis were negative. Calcium and phosphate levels in blood and urine were normal. A diagnosis of idiopathic phalangeal acroosteolysis (Joseph and Shinz disease) was given. This inherited form of acroosteolysis is transmitted on an autosomal dominant or recessive basis. It affects the tips of the distal phalanges of the fingers and toes but occasionally spreads to other bones.

The cross-cultural adaptation of the BASFI and BASDAI was obtained in accordance with the guidelines for translation of the health status measures. Eighty-five patients with AS were included in the study. The test-retest reliability and the internal consistency were analyzed, and both questionnaires were assessed for external construct validity. Structural validity was analyzed with correlation matrix. Twenty-four-hour test-retest reliability was good: BASFI intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC)= 0.96 (confidence interval (CI) at 95%, 0.93-0.97), BASDAI ICC=0.93 (CI at 95%, 0.90-0.95). Cronbach's alpha was 0.90 for the BASFI and 0.86 for BASDAI. The construct validity of the instruments was evaluated. The BASFI showed a strong validity when correlating its results with Schober's test (r=−0.56), occipital wall distance (r=0.46), chest expansion (r = −0.46), BASDAI (r =0.54), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (r=0.70), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Global Score (BAS-G; r=0.58), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Radiology Index (r=0.61), and the radiological changes in sacroiliac joints (r=0.54). A good correlation was observed between the BASDAI and the spinal pain (r=0.53), the number of nocturnal awakenings (r=0.57), the morning stiffness (r=0.65), the enthesic index (r=0.47), the BAS-G (r=0.53), the BASFI (r=0.54), and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (r=0.41; for all p<0.001).

Elle peut être d'étiologies diverses, comme elle peut être idiopathique. Nous en rapportons un cas dans sa forme idiopathique rare.

Pulmonary manifestations are rare and include pleuritis and transient radiological inWltrations. We report a case of a young woman with AOSD who developed unusual respiratory symptoms, with bilateral lower lobar atelectasis and restrictive syndrome and reviewed the literature on it. We illustrate the diYculties in diagnosis of atypical pulmonary defect with unusual radiological aspects and discuss causality relationship between lung abnormalities and Still's disease.

This is a cross-sectional study conducted between January and June 2012 which includes patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (n = 30). All patients have undergone clinical and paraclinical assessment of JIA and a complete eye examination. Functional impairment is assessed by the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire while visual function is studied by the Effect of Youngsters&amp;amp;amp;#39; Eyesight in Quality of Life instrument (EYE-Q). Quality of life is assessed using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Version 4.0 (PedsQL 4.0). Four patients (13.33 %) have uveitis with a confidence interval between 3.4 and 30.7. Involvement is bilateral in three children (75 %). One patient (25 %) has elevated intraocular pressure with loss of the right eye due to glaucoma. There is a strong but not significant relationship between uveitis and the number of awakenings (r = 0.71, p = 0.69) and morning stiffness (r = 3.05, p = 0, 21). This relationship is moderate with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (r = 0.48, p = 0.78) and C-reactive protein (r = 0.25, p = 0.88). A strong but not significant association is found between the overall quality of life assessed by the PedsQL 4.0 and visual function assessed by EYE-Q in the uveitis group (r = -0.64, p = 0.55). This study suggests that uveitis associated with JIA can present serious complications and could have a direct relationship with the activity of the JIA as well as with the quality of life of the patient.

Elles régressent avec la rémission hématologique. Exégèse. -Nous rapportons deux observations de leucémie chez l'adulte révélée par une polyarthrite. La première observation est une patiente de 22 ans qui présente huit mois avant le diagnostic d'une leucémie aiguë une polyarthrite bilatérale et symétrique. La deuxième observation est celle d'un patient de 34 ans qui présente un mois avant l'admission une polyarthrite aiguë qui révèle une leucémie myéloïde chronique. Conclusion. -Une polyarthrite peut révéler une leucémie aiguë ou chronique d'où l'intérêt de faire un bilan sanguin systématique devant toute polyarthrite d'installation récente. © 2006 Elsevier SAS.
