#EULAR2026, Professor Victoria Werth highlighting how interface dermatitis is indistinguishable between SLE and dermatomyositis. Thus both should be in the differential diagnosis even if not mentioned in the pathology report.
Hector Chinoy warns to be aware of false negative myositis specific antibodies at #Eular2026. Are there technical considerations? Despite this about 20 % true seronegative.
#Eular2026 Audience question in session Drawn by immunology - if we follow the mechanisms, this drug shouldn't work but yet it does. I think the principle is important, there are a lot of known unknowns in the drugs we use. We need to keep asking and challenge what we think we know.
#Eular2026 Hendrk Schulze-Koops driving home the Adverse Effects (irae) of immune checkpoint inhibitors. Throw out the textbooks and help the patients manage the symptoms.
#Eular2026, fascinating talk by Wolfgang Merkt on the BiTE approach. Examples of Autoimmune reset and limitations. Get the feeling that this approach will lead to far deeper understanding of disease pathophysiology. So excited!!!!
Almost no room in the inn for #Eular2026 Chest HRCT in SARD-ILD. Learning loads from radiologist Gerlig Widmann. Great build up of pattern recognition.
Why is seeing a cutting (Jade plant) take root so satisfying?
Excellent GCA (and PMR) overview of direction of travel in pinning down diagnosis from Dr Monti. Grazie.

Is IgG4 related disease really that rare? Don't think so...
🧵 The ANA Test — Medicine’s Most Misinterpreted Marker Up to 1 in 7 healthy adults test positive and never develop autoimmune disease. Read the full post here: 🔗 haus.health/blog/ana-tes... #Rheumatology #Autoimmune #Lupus #Medicine
The ANA Test Explained: What a Positive Result Really Means — Haus Health Rheumatology
A rheumatologist explains why the ANA test is often misinterpreted—and what a positive result does (and doesn’t) mean for autoimmune disease.

GCA is a rare autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in the blood vessels — often leading to headaches, scalp tenderness, jaw pain when chewing, and in some cases, vision loss. Awareness saves sight. #GCAAwarenessDay #ChronicIllnessCommunity #InvisibleIllness #AutoimmuneWarrior #CreakyJoints
Random. Have you ever seen someone demoing a rowing machine with good form, without knees coming up before hands pass etc.
Someone posted about their tachycardia moment. Is anti-MDA5 associated ILD etc the ANCA positive ILD etc of this century?

Have definitely seen a few of these in #rheumatology as one of the painless lumpy bumpy things that we are asked about. There was a painful one though that spread under the hand flexor retinaculum. Pleased with the name change as the old one just never quite rolled off the tongue.
MDSpire News@mdspirenews.bsky.social · 2y agoA right-handed man in his 50s presented with a painless, enlarging nodule destroying his nail. Biopsy confirmed a rare but locally aggressive tumor. What’s your diagnosis? #Dermatology #MedSky
From 2023, a nice discussion of retinal vein occlusions. I might always be on the lookout for #GCA but being clearer on the other options for painless vision loss is valuable. lrn.peerview.com/150209033_1_...

I would always suggest that you bring in a urine sample for your SLE consultations. Lupus nephritis doesn't have to be specifically symptomatic and a urine dip result can highlight if your kidney is unhappy (blood, protein). Of course there are other tests but this is a simple one.
