Nine patients had attacks of joint pain and sometimes swelling precipitated by certain foods or associated with allergic manifestations. All were atopic subjects--three having strong evidence of Type I (immediate) allergy and three 'urticarial arthralgia', in which attacks of severe urticaria and joint pain occurred coincidentally. Food allergy appeared to be responsible for the joint symptoms in three patients and in one it was possible to precipitate swelling of a knee due to synovitis with effusion by drinking milk a few hours beforehand, the synovial fluid having mildly inflammatory features and a relatively high eosinophil count. It seems that allergy is an occasional cause of episodic rheumatic pain or synovitis in certain atopic patients, whether or not they have an underlying arthritis. These are usually Type I hypersensitivity reactions, though it is thought that some food-allergic reactions are immune complex-mediated.

A 55-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis in overlap with polymyositis received sulfasalazine for control of synovitis. Cholestatic jaundice, fever, urticaria and agranulocytosis developed after 20 days of treatment and culminated in fatal adult respiratory distress syndrome secondary to Legionella pneumophila. The increasing use of sulfasalazine in the therapy of rheumatoid arthritis mandates that the clinician be aware of this idiosyncratic drug reaction.

Intra-articular synovial effusion was visualized in different juvenile hip diseases by ultrasonography; 166 hips from 149 children were examined. Joint aspiration of 97 hips confirmed that ultrasonography was more sensitive than conventional radiography in diagnosing effusion. The magnitude of the ultrasonic joint space correlated well with the clinical severity of the disease, the volume of synovial fluid, and the intra-articular pressure. Considerable widening of the ultrasonic joint space was seen in transient synovitis, septic arthritis, reactive arthritis and arthritis with urticaria; moderate widening was seen in some patients with Perthes disease, and symmetrical joint space in patients with nonspecific arthralgia. We conclude that ultrasonography is valuable in the diagnosis and follow-up of synovial effusion of the hip in children.

Arthrography is considered extremely safe since reactions to intraarticular contrast media are rare. We have only seen one severe complication in the performance of more than 2,000 arthrographic procedures. To determine the incidence of complications, a questionnaire was sent to 84 radiologists experienced in arthrography. The 57 respondents had performed more than 126,000 arthrographic procedures, and findings of the survey indicate no deaths, three cases of infection, and 61 cases of hives. Other acute reactions included hypotension, seizures, air embolism, and laryngeal edema. Related complications included sterile chemical synovitis, severe pain after the procedure, and vasovagal reactions.

Intra-articular pressure was measured in 94 hips in 81 children with Perthes' disease and various forms of synovitis of the hip. The pressure was elevated in Perthes' disease (3.4 kPa), transient synovitis (17.3 kPa), septic arthritis (20.2 kPa), reactive arthritis (28.0 kPa) and arthritis with urticaria (32.3 kPa). In transient synovitis the mean pressure was only 2.3 kPa in flexion, while a mean of 26.6 kPa was seen in the neutral position and in internal rotation. In children with synovial effusion of the hip, the position of immobilisation should therefore be in flexion of 30-45 degrees with slight external rotation. The neutral position or extension, even with simultaneous traction, may endanger the circulation of the femoral head.

Muckle-Wells syndrome (MWS) is a rare condition characterized by urticaria, arthralgias, deafness and amyloid nephropathy. The arthropathy is poorly documented. We describe the arthropathy occurring in four cases of MWS and discuss the management. Each patient developed recurrent bouts of transient synovitis. One patient developed a persistent sterile pyoarthrosis.

Magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) is commonly used to detect labral tears of the hip. Complications of MRA are unusual and include minor reactions such as chemical synovitis and urticaria. This paper presents a rapidly progressive chondrolysis of the hip in a young patient after arthrography. The patient had suffered from acute septic arthritis and was treated by emergent arthroscopic surgery followed by appropriate antibiotics. At 18 months of followup, there were no signs of active infection but evidence of joint chondrolysis. Magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) of the hip is an invasive procedure and should therefore be recommended judiciously. Post-MRA pain is common but often mild and temporary, while post-MRA joint infection is rare; nevertheless, severe joint pain and limitation should raise suspicion for septic hip.

We present the clinical and ultrasound findings of four patients with moderate synovitis and urticarial skin lesions associated with sports activity in warm environments. We include progress after treatment with hydroxycin. We suggest a causal relationship similar to cholinergic urticaria where the neighbouring synovium responds with effusion that self-limits once the triggering process has been halted.
