A Twist in the Tale: The Unmasking of Listeria in a PMR Case
ABSTRACT In general, an older patient presenting with proximal muscle pain and fatigue, with elevated inflammatory markers, would generally result in an extensive evaluation. If this is negative, it would be reasonable for a diagnosis of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) to be made and the patient referred to rheumatology.

The Role of Ultrasound Compared to Biopsy of Temporal Arteries in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Giant Cell Arteritis (TABUL): a diagnostic accuracy and cost-effectiveness study [PDF]
Background: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a relatively common form of primary systemic vasculitis, which, if left untreated, can lead to permanent sight loss. We compared ultrasound as an alternative diagnostic test with temporal artery biopsy, which may
