Abstract
|
|
|
|
SAPHO syndrome, which has different skin changes and osteoarticular inflammation, is an acronym that stands for synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis. Treatment of SAPHO syndrome includes non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), anti-rheumatic drugs, such as colchicines, corticosteroids and bisphosphonates, and disease-modifying agents. However, the treatment of SAPHO syndrome is controversial because it is a new clinical entity with unclear etiopathogenesis and inadequate clinical studies. We report a case with refractory SAPHO syndrome, which was successfully treated with a tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-? blocker.
