A 23-year-old female on anti-tubercular therapy for tuberculous sacroiliitis presented with right sided gluteal and thigh abscess. Suspecting treatment failure, surgical evacuation of purulent material was done. The bacteriological isolation showed positivity for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Although the microbiological and histopat...

... serology were negative for immunological disorders. Further, Mantoux test and tubercular gamma interferon assay were strongly positive. The plain radiographs of the chest and lumbosacral spine appeared normal; however, the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the sacrum and both SI joints demonstrated effusions and mild erosions in the right side (Fig. 1). These initial reports led to the provisional diagnosis of TS. She was started on a four-drug anti-tubercular regime (isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and ...

Background
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory arthritic disease, and sacroiliitis, enthesitis, and propensity for sacroiliac and spinal fusion are characteristic pathological features. Interleukin-34 (IL-34) plays a role in the induction and differentiation of osteoclasts. Other inflammatory factors are not directly involved in t...
Background.
The Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada (SPARCC) developers have created novel web-based calibration modules for the SPARCC MRI Sacroiliac Joint (SIJ) inflammation and structural scoring methods (SPARCC-SIJRETIC−INF, SPARCC-SIJRETIC−STR) based on DICOM images and real-time iterative feedback (RETIC). We aimed to test the imp...
