Atypical Presentation of Rheumatoid Arthritis With Erythema Nodosum Mimicking Cellulitis: A Case Report and Literature Review of Erythema Nodosum

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT 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.

Classification of pediatric pneumonia using chest X-rays by functional regression [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
An accurate and prompt diagnosis of pediatric pneumonia is imperative for successful treatment intervention. One approach to diagnose pneumonia cases is using radiographic data. In this article, we propose a novel parsimonious scalar-on-image classification model adopting the ideas of functional data analysis.

Risk Factors for Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia in Rheumatoid Arthritis: The Protective Potential of Salazosulfapyridine

International Journal of Rheumatic Diseases, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Objectives The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors for Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to recommend appropriate disease‐modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) selection for those at high risk of developing PCP. Methods We conducted a retrospective review of patients with RA who

Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia in Cancer Patients, a Lethal Yet Fully Preventable Disease: Insights From a Tertiary Cancer Center in East India

Asia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology, Volume 21, Issue 3, Page 319-327, June 2025.
Age and history of lung radiotherapy are overlooked risk factors for Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) in cancer patients. Prophylaxis appeared to be fully effective. 21‐day mortality rate in the PCP group was 35.4%. Hematologic malignancy and lung cancer patients are at highest risk for mortality.
