Does ultrasound examination of symptomatic ankles in shorter-duration rheumatoid arthritis patients often reveal tenosynovitis?
Tenosynovitis and especially isolated tenosynovitis are frequently detected by US in symptomatic ankles of early RA patients. US examination of ankles in early RA patients should include scans of the medial and lateral recess to enable early detection of ankle tenosynovitis.
Hypoendemic subclinical malaria infections were associated with a number of household and demographic factors, similar to symptomatic cases. Unlike clinical symptomatic malaria, which is highly seasonal, these actively detected infections were present year-round, made up the vast majority of infections at any given time, and likely acted as reservoirs for continued transmission.
