What is needed to establish a differential diagnosis
Consider the most common conditions
Diagnosis by:

LABS DO NOT MAKE A DIAGNOSIS; H&P DOES!
How can labs lead you astray?
ESR/CRP: Origins and associations
Serologies (RF, ANA, CCP, APL, ANCA): when to do


Age, Sex, Race
Type of presentation: Febrile, Acute, Chronic, Widespread pain

Goals of Assessment

Identify “Red Flag” conditions
 Conditions
with sufficient morbidity/mortality to warrant an
expedited diagnosis

Make a timely diagnosis
Common conditions occur commonly
 Many MS conditions are self-limiting
 Some conditions require serial evaluation over time to
make a Dx


Provide relief, reassurance and plan for evaluation
and treatment

28 yr. old WF presents with acute onset of knee
swelling and pain 7 days ago. Two days later, knee
resolved but both wrists began to swell. On day 7, the
wrists improved but all PIPs were swollen and tender.
By day 10 she complained of arthritis in PIPs, wrists,
knees and ankles. + Tenosynovitis L wrist. AM
stiffness was 4 hours. C/O fatigue. Denies fever, rash
She visits her PCP who examines her and orders
“Rheumatoscreen Plus” and XRAYs.
He sends her home on OTC ibuprofen, tylenol and
Vicks Vapo-Rub.
Acute Onset Arthritis/Rash



Day 14 she returns to PCP with
low grade fever, rash (pruritic) on
the trunk and extremities.
Exam: symmetric polyarthritis in an
RA-like distribution. Tenosynovitis
has resolved. Urticarial lesions
over trunk and extensor surface of
arms. (+)2 cm nontender, left

ACP Recommendations for Diagnostic Use of
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate

The ESR should not be used to screen asymptomatic persons for disease

The ESR should be used selectively and interpreted with caution....Extreme
elevation of the ESR seldom occurs in patients with no evidence of serious
disease

If there is no immediate explanation for an increased ESR, the physician
should repeat the test in several months rather than search for occult disease

The ESR is indicated for the diagnosis and monitoring of temporal arteritis and
polymyalgia rheumatica

In diagnosing and monitoring patients with rheumatoid arthritis, the ESR should
be used prinicipally to resolve conflicting clinical evidence

The ESR may be helpful in monitoring patients with treated Hodgkin’s disease

CCP Antibodies
(cyclic citrullinated peptide Abs)






Antibodies directed against Citrulline proteins
AKA anti-filaggrin, anti-keratin and anti-perinuclear factor
antibodies (all identify filaggrin – citrulline rich)
Citrulline is a post-translationally modified arginine residue that
binds “shared epitopes” (HLA-DR4 (HLADRB1 *0401, *0404)
suggesting CCP Abs may play a role in RA pathogenesis .
Method: 2nd generation assay is widely available as EIA; has
greater sensitivity than earlier version
Increased in: RA (sensitivity 50-70%); early RA (40-60%), RA
with severe erosive disease. Specificity (95%) is higher than
RF. CCP may be prognostically important in new onset RA
Indications: Suspected RA, new onset RA.
CCP antibodies by ELISA
AITD: autoimmune thyroid dz; MGUS-monoclonal gammopathy; NC-normals
Xray damage after 3 yrs in 178 RA
patients assessed serologically
Negative PPV: May be most important

ANCA: Anti-Neutrophil
Cytoplasmic Antibodies
 C-ANCA, P-ANCA, myeloperoxidase (MPO),

proteinase-3 (PR3)
ANCA: antibodies that bind to enzymes present in the
cytoplasm of neutrophils. Associated with several
types of vasculitis.
C-ANCA: cytoplasmic staining. 50% to 90% sensitivity
for Wegener's
P-ANCA exhibits perinuclear staining. Less specific,
60% of patients with microscopic polyarteritis and
Churg-Straus syndrome.
