Still's disease is an autoinflammatory disease characterized by spiking fever, rash, polyarthralgia, sore throat and even life-threatening complications, such as macrophage activation syndrome. It was first described by George Still in the late 1800s.

How concerned should we be for #hydroxychloroquine retinopathy. >4000 pts prospectively followed. 1/2 w RA & 15% w #SLE. New risks Asian with pericentral pattern and overall. Length of time on use and ⬆️wt based dose per day & CKD all risks. Abst#0989 #ACR21 #ACRBest @RheumNow https://t.co/XTfdQpVC7H

In pts w/o RF, liver bx prev suggestd if lifetime cumulative MTX dose was 1-1.5g, then 3.5-4g.
All pts in centre offered Fibroscan
liver stifness associations:
- age, BMI
- not cumulative MTX dose
maybe survival bias, but what we're doing now is fine!

Aware of COPA syndrome?
➡️Rare cause of immune-mediated lung dz
➡️Mimics RA-ILD, SLE, & vasculitis
➡️Adult-onset cases reported
Abst#0529 determined that mutations in the COPA gene underlie some cases of severe pulmonary fibrosis.

What to do if pt on a TNFi develops cancer? Can you safely restart TNFi later? Depends on cancer, timing - how long ago was cancer, Rx and patient preference. Data diff from RABBIT registry vs British bio registry @RheumNow #ACR21 #ACRBest 7S413 Have a look https://t.co/q9SFKlFJzg

This feels like an excellent starting point for Tuesday's ORAL Surveillance malignancy discussion.
RWE Cohort: HR 1.01 (0.83-1.22)
RCT-dup Cohort: HR 1.19 (0.86-1.64)
ORAL Surveillance: HR 1.48 (1.04-2.09)
Interesting day 4 ahead!
great talk @SeoyoungCKim #ACR21 7S413 @RheumNow https://t.co/YSau21goMr

Does concomitant SJS affect tx effectiveness in RA?
Abst#0839 suggest yes!
➡️RA+SjS have an inferior response to TNFi than RA patients w/o SjS
BUT, RA/SJS pts w/ longer RA dz duration & ↑ DAS28 + HAQ-scores.
What's your clinical experience with this?

If obvious dermatomyositis, you don’t need EMG for dx but may use for severity of involvement or if failing Rx or r/o steroid myopathy. For ?polymyositis ALWAYS do bx and often do EMG as broad differential #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/L1xu3OuRYJ

A worthwhile point:
despite historic concerns, in the modern era TNFi can used safely & well in HIV pts
18y follow-up, all pts high CD4
(their starting criteria: CD4>200, VL <60,000)
no reported opportunistic infx
good arthritis response
