Subcutaneous nodules, composed of necrotic collagen surrounded by chronic inflammatory cells, occur in about 20% of individuals with rheumatoid arthritis, 10% of those with acute rheumatic fever, and 25% of children with granuloma annulare. Similar subcutaneous lesions indistinguishable from rheumatoid nodules may appear in children who do not develop other stigmata of disease. Mesara and ous lesions of granuloma annulare. Therefore, they felt that, in children, these nodules probably represented a clinical variant of granuloma annulare. Beatty3 described nine children aged 11 days to 9 years with nodules on the scalp, ulnar aspect of the arm, dorsum of the foot, and palm of the hand which appeared histologically to be rheumatoid nodules.

Ankle Surgery

The records of 104 patients who underwent reconstructive foot and ankle surgery for deformities secondary to rheumatoid arthritis were reviewed. The use of rheumatoid chemotherapeutic agents, age, sex, rheumatoid nodule status, and the number of concurrent surgical procedures performed was analyzed to determine any association with the postoperative outcome for wound healing and infectious complications. The 104 patients, ranging in age from 23 to 83 years, underwent 725 operative procedures. An overall 32% complication rate was recorded. Analysis of five specific rheumatoid chemotherapeutic agents (NSAIDs, steroids, methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine, gold), age, sex, number of operative procedures performed, and presence of rheumatoid nodules, either alone or in combination, failed to prove a statistical association with either a healing or infectious postoperative complication.

Chronic Headaches

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a multisystem inflammatory disease which can involve many organ systems including the central nervous system (CNS). Though not very common, the results can be severely debilitating. The spectrum of the CNS involvement includes meningitis, encephalitis and occasionally rheumatoid nodules. Its presentation is variable, though very rarely it can present as focal neurological deficits. Imaging can be suggestive, but diagnosis usually requires tissue biopsy. Treatment consists of high-dose steroids and immunosuppressants. We describe the case of a 55-year-old male patient with a history of RA presenting with a third nerve palsy and headache who was found to have rheumatoid nodules on biopsy. CNS involvement in RA should be considered in anyone with rheumatoid arthritis who presents with focal neurological deficits, though infections and space-occupying lesions should also be ruled out.

New Onset

Abstract COVID-19 vaccines are considered one of the primary strategies for countering the pandemic. While mRNA based and viral vector-based vaccines have been predominantly used, inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccines are being manufactured in countries such as China and India. Post approval, rare but serious adverse events such as myocarditis and stroke have been observed with mRNA based and viral vectored COVID-19 vaccines. Inactivated vaccines in general have shown better tolerability in clinical trials. Here we report the first case of new-onset seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with rheumatoid nodules and refractory reactive eosinophilia within two weeks of receiving an inactivated COVID-19 vaccine (COVAXIN).
