The third day of EULAR 2019 started with novel biologics, the efficacy of secukinumab in axial psoriatic arthritis, neurologic events with TNF inhibitors from the DANBIO database (OP0261), and neuropathy in SLE (OP0252), but above all this was a big poster day.

ANCA can occur with infection such as TB and SBE. If both p and cANCA are + think of cocaine esp with methamizole added. pANCA is more nonspecific and even can occur in IBD. Use clinical judgement. Study of ANCA PR3 (7%) & 0% MPO in TB FRI0649 #EULAR2019 @RheumNow

Checklists for RA patient ‘screening’: bad. How useful is a routine ANA, even for early RA assessment? This is what happens when you do it on every patient in an early RA clinic... whole lotta false positives. #EULAR2019 OP0323 Mariana Luis from Coimbra, Portugal @RheumNow https://t.co/wa8PzVbais
