Abstract
Aim of the work
Is to study the histopathological findings of the skin as a parameter of disease activity in Egyptian rheumatoid arthritis patients.
Conclusion
This raise the possibility that skin histopathological findings can be used as a predictor of rheumatoid arthiritis disease activity at three levels which are:
1- Overall skin histopathological disease activity parameters like both interstitial and prevascular fibrosis and cellular infiltrations, erector pillae muscle cellular infiltration and vascular conjestion.
2- Articular disease activity skin histopathological parameters like histiocytic cellular whether in the interstitial tissue or perivascular, erector pillae muscle histocytic infilteration.
3- Extra-articular disease activity histopathologic parameters like plasma cells infiltration wheather in the interstitial tissue or perivascular and vasculities erector muscle lymphocytic infiltration and percentage of high endothelial cells.
