Erythema nodosum (EN) can be an atypical manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), as seen in this case of a 35-year-old woman initially misdiagnosed with cellulitis. Despite negative cultures and antibiotic treatment, further evaluation revealed elevated rheumatoid factor and anti-CCP antibodies, confirming RA. Steroids led to symptom resolution.
结节性红斑(EN)可能是类风湿关节炎(RA)的一种非典型表现,就像本例中一名35岁女性最初被误诊为蜂窝织炎那样。尽管培养结果为阴性且接受了抗生素治疗,但进一步评估发现类风湿因子和抗环瓜氨酸肽抗体升高,从而确诊为RA。使用类固醇后症状得到缓解。
