what is the tx for reactive arthritis
NSAIDS for managing arthritis, corticosteroids, immunosuppressants
30
describe psoriasis
- chronic skin disease, affects 2% of US population
- increased proliferative activity of cutaneous keratinocytes
- genetic and environmental factors may play a role
- prevalence of erythema migrans appears to be higher than general population

what are the clinical features of psoriasis
- onset during 2-3rd decade
- persists for years with periods of exacerbation and inactivity

34
what are the two types of lupus erythematous and describe each
- systemic lupus erythematous (SLE): multisystem disease affected solid organs, cutaneous and oral manifestation
- chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CCLE): primarily affects skin and oral mucosa
35
what are the clinical features of lupus
- females: 8-10x more common
- most common dx in 4th decade
- fever, weight loss, arthritis, fatigue
- butterfly rash over malar area and nose in 40-50% of patients
- sunlight may exacerbate lesion
36
what are the clinical features of SLE
- kidneys affected in 40-50% of patients- may lead to kidney failure
- cardiac involvement- endocarditis
- oral lesions: may appear lichenoid, erythema, ulcerations, often nonspecific on palate, buccal mucosa, lips, gingiva
37
what are the clinical features of CCLE
- few or no systemic signs or symptoms
- lesions limited to skin or mucosal surfaces
- skin lesion: scaly, erythemaous patches- sun exposed skin
- oral lesions: lichenoid appearance. rarely occur in absence of skin lesions
38
what is the dx for lupus
antibodies directed against double stranded DNA in 70% SLE patients
39
what is the tx for lupus
- avoid excessive sunlight exposure
- mild cases may be managed with NSAIDS
- severe cases: systemic corticosteroids, immunosuppressive medications
- prognosis depends on organs affected
40
describe angioedema
- diffuse, edematous swelling of soft tissue
- involves subcutaneous and submucosal CT
- most common cause: mast cell degeneration -> histamine release
- IgE- mediated hypersensitivity to drugs, foods, plants, dusts
- alternative mechanism: ACE inhibitors in 0.1-0.2% of users - excess bradykinin
41
what are the clinial features of angioedema
- rapid onset of soft, nontender, tissue swelling
- most common in extremities, also face, neck, trunk and genitals
- ACE- inhibitor associated angioedema frequently affects head and neck such as face, lips, tongue, FOM, pharnyx, and larynx , 3-4x in black patients
42
what is the dx and tx for angioedema
- dx: clinical presentation and determination of antigenic stimulus
- tx: allergic: oral antihistamine therapy or ACE inhibitor: avoid all medications in drug class
43

- cheek chewing
- leukoedema
- lichen planus
- candidiasis
44
does white sponge nevus dissappear when stretched
no
45
is white sponge nevus more localized or diffuse
diffuse never localized
46
epidermolysis bullosa histology looks similar to:
pemphigoid
47

reactive arthritis
48
what is the most common form of angioedema that dentists will see
ACE inhibitor associated angioedema
