Cases from the Wards
Maryland ACP 2015
Disclosures- None
20 year-old with Buttock Pain and Fever
Case 1
Case Study of A.H.
• 20 yo white female with no significant pmhx
• 3 weeks before presentation, AH noted fever, nonbloody diarrhea, & abdominal pain that resolved in
48 hrs
• 2 weeks prior to presentation, noted right hip pain
that radiated down the back of her right leg.
Intermittent fevers
– Treated with doxycycline and NSAIDs
• Pain worsened, and she was unable to walk
Case Study of A.H.
• MRI of hips/bone scan performed 10 days
prior to presentation were read as normal
• No recent trauma- Fallen off her horse and on
her buttock multiple times in the past
Case Study
• At time of presentation
– Unable to walk
– Slept only on her left side in a recliner
– Unable to fully extend the right hip
– No recent fever
• Nl fmhx, social hx, developmental hx, and
pmhx. Denied sexual activity
Case Study: PE
• Nl vitals
• Very uncomfortable- 10/10 pain score
• Exam normal but for MSK exam
– Tenderness over the right SI joint
– Tenderness in right groin and upper thigh
– Very limited active right hip flexion with limited
internal/external rotation
– Position of comfort was hip flexion with external rotation
– No signs of enthesitis

•
Normal CBC except Hemoglobin- 10.8 g/dL
Normal CMP, CK, and Aldolase
Rheumatoid factor and Lyme disease serology- negative
HLA-B27 by flow was not present
Serum C3, C4 and complement function- normal
Antinuclear antibody was positive with a 1:80 titer
No GC with multiple swabs
Cultures of blood were negative
• Erythrocyte sedimentation rate- 102 mm/h
• C-reactive protein- 6.4 mg/dL
Case Study: Radiology
• Review of outside films
– Plain film: revealed evidence of widening of right
SI joint with irregularity and sclerosis on the iliac
side
– Bone scan: subtle inc uptake in right SI joint
– MRI: abnl signal in right SI joint and adjacent
sacrum and iliac. Minimal fluid
Diagnostic Procedures
• Culture of stool
• CT guided aspiration of right SI joint with
culture
– Gram stain negative from SI joint aspiration
Helpful Results
• Stool and SI joint fluid grew Salmonella
enterica serotype Montevideo that was pansensitive
The Big Finish
• AH later remembers that the day before her
GE illness, she had baked cookies for her
mother’s birthday with eggs from their farm
and ……………………
• …………… she ate lots of batter!!!!!!!!!!!
Final Diagnosis:
• Salmonella gastroenteritis with hematogenous
spread resulting in Salmonella septic sacroilitis
Reacquaint Ourselves with the SI
Joint
•Joint formed between the auricular surfaces of the sacrum
and the ilium
•The articular surface of each bone is covered with a thin
plate of cartilage in close contact with each other
Sacroiliac Articulation
(articulatio sacroiliaca)

Inferior two-thirds: separated by a space containing
a synovial fluid permitting free motion





Greatest at birth
Decreases from birth to puberty
In women, mobility increases after puberty to peak
around age 25
During pregnancy, relaxin effects on ligaments increases
mobility
Mobility decreases in the 4th and 5th decades and is
absent in the elderly
Vascularization of the SI Joint
• Peaks in 2nd decade of life and declines after
the age of 30
• Originates from the pelvic and paravertebral
venous plexus of Batson

Discussion
• Prior to 2008, in 4 randomized trials, only 189 patients of the 1811 who
received active drug were > 75 years.
• In the four 12-week clinical trials in which 1158 patients were treated with
solifenacin 10mg, there were 3 serious intestinal adverse events: fecal
impaction, colonic obstruction, and intestinal obstruction.
• Patients receiving solifenacin were more likely to experience constipation
than those given placebo
• 5mg- 5.4%
• 10mg- 13.4%
• Placebo- 2.9%
• In patients who urinated an average of 11.6-12.32 times per 24 hours,
efficacy trials showed a mean decrease from baseline of 1.1-1.59 times
with placebo as compared to 2.0-2.81 times with solifenacin.
Conclusion
• First think drugs
• Solifenacin’s risks likely outweigh its benefits
– Dearth of clinical data on patients > 75 years of age
– Effects of age on the pharmacokinetics
– Higher likelihood of bowel pathology in the elderly
– Increased risk of solifenacin induced side effects in the
pooled analysis of patients ≥ 65 years old
– Minor clinical benefit of solifenacin

Likelihood Ratios
•
•
•
•
Derived from sensitivity and specificity
It is a multiplication factor
(Pre-test odds)(LR)= post-test odds
We convert odds to percentages or use the
Bayes’ Nomogram
May 1, 2017
66
When are Likelihood Ratios
Helpful?
• LRs >10 or < 0.1
– generate large, and often conclusive changes from pre- to post-test
probability
• LRs of 5-10 and 0.1-0.2
– generate moderate shifts in pre- to post-test probability
• LRs of 2-5 and 0.5-0.2
– generate small (but sometimes important) changes in probability
• LRs of 1-2 and 0.5-1
– alter probability to a small (and rarely important) degree.
• How helpful also depends on your pre-test probability

Conclusion
• Make sure you know the operating
characteristics of the test before deciding on
the post-test probability
• Always think about the pre-test probability
• Combine that with whether the diagnosis is
“high stakes” to decide what needs to happen
to lower the post-test probability to an
appropriate level
