Tonsillitis as a possible predisposition to synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome.

Abstract:

AIM:To present the prevalence of tonsillitis in synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and osteitis (SAPHO) patients, to compare the clinical characteristics and disease activities between SAPHO patients with and without tonsillitis and to preliminarily explore the efficacy of tonsillectomy in SAPHO syndrome. METHOD:A total of 58 SAPHO patients were included. Clinical data were collected, including demographic characteristics and acute phase reactants (erythrocyte sedimentation rate, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein). The visual analog scale (VAS), Palmoplantar Pustule Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PPPASI) and Nail Psoriasis Severity Index (NAPSI) were used to measure the severity of bone pain, skin lesions and nail lesions, respectively. Patients were referred to the otolaryngology department for tonsil examinations, including tonsil hypertrophy (grade ≥ 2), chronic congestion, inflammatory secretion and tonsil stones. The patients who underwent tonsillectomy were followed up after the surgery. RESULTS:A total of 67.2% of patients had tonsillitis. Patients with tonsillitis had markedly higher PPPASI (1.2 [0, 7.4] vs. 7.6 [1.75, 15.5], P = .018) and NAPSI (0 [0, 21] vs. 8 [3, 28], P = .032) scores. After tonsillectomy, the patients experienced significantly improved bone pain (VAS, 5 [4, 7] vs. 3 [1, 4], P = .034) and skin lesions (PPPASI, 16.2 [7.05, 18.35] vs 1.8 [0.7, 3.7], P = .028). CONCLUSION:Approximately 2/3 of SAPHO patients had tonsillitis. Patients with tonsillitis had more severe skin and nail lesions. Tonsillectomy might be associated with improved bone and skin symptoms in SAPHO patients. Future prospective controlled studies are warranted.
