Dermatomyositis and granulomatous myopathy associated with sarcoidosis.

A previously healthy, 21-year-old female presented with acute dermatomyositis. Chest X-ray revealed bilateral hilar adenopathy, and mediastinal lymph node biopsy demonstrated noncaseating granulomata compatible with sarcoidosis. The patient improved spontaneously. The significance of bilateral hilar adenopathy in association with dermatomyositis and implications for management are discussed.

Reactive arthritis associated with Clostridium difficile enteritis.

Reactive arthritis of one or more peripheral joints developed after an enteric infection with Clostridium difficile in 2 adult patients. Other reactive signs such as conjunctivitis, mucous membrane lesions and urethritis were absent. One patient had the HLA-B27 antigen. Short term followup showed a benign course of the arthritis. Three other cases of arthritis associated with C. difficile were reviewed.
