Association of rheumatoid arthritis with pernicious anemia and GougerotSjogren syndrome: report of a case
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic rheumatic disease that may be associated with iron deficiency or anemia of inflammation. Few autoimmune anemias have been described in association with RA.We report, through this observation, an association of RA to a GougerotSjögren syndrome and pernicious anemia because of its rarity.The multiple autoimmune syndrome is a rare pathological condition, predominant in women. The main interest is in the early detection of new autoimmune diseases by monitoring of susceptible patients. There would be probably a genetic predisposing. Keywords:Rheumatoid arthritis, GougerotSjögren syndrome, pernicious anemia, multiple autoimmune syndrome
