[Destructive polyarthritis in Behcet's disease. Apropos of a case and review of the literature].

The authors report a case of a 37 years old man with Behçet's disease since 7 years who develops a destructive chronic polyarthritis involving wrists, hands and one knee. The parallel evolution between recurrent orogenital ulceration and arthritis added to the absence of other associated destructive rheumatism permit to link this polyarthritis to Behçet disease. In spite of the few reports, the occurrence of destructive arthritis can't exclude absolutely the diagnosis of this affection.

[Rheumatic spondylodiscitis in spondylarthropathies].

The involvement of enthesis like disc space is the typical lesion of spondylarthropathies. Out of 240 patients with spondylarthropathies, 10 (7 M, 3 W; mean age: 37 years) have spondylodiscitis, affecting a total of 13 disc spaces: 1 cervical, 2 thoracic, 10 lumbar. The mean duration of spondylarthropathy at the time of diagnosis of spondylodiscitis is 10 years. Spondylodiscitis has a variable clinical presentation: painful (6 cases), asymptomatic (4 cases). Its coexistence with typical radiographic signs of spondylarthropathy added to the exclusion of bacterial origin, permit to link it to spondylarthropathy. Its evolution is generally favourable.
