Sterile Osteitis and Suppurative Arthritis Associated with Pannus Responding to Colchicine

Sterile Osteitis and Suppurative Arthritis Associated with Pannus Responding to Colchicine

Sterile suppurative arthritis is characterized by neutrophilic infiltration of joints without any causative pathogen. Here, we present a 32-year-old man with refractory osteitis and erosive suppurative oligoarthritis with pannus. Treatments with multiple disease modifying antirheumatic drugs were al...
