BOARD REVIEW ANSWERS
1. This antinuclear antibody (ANA) is most characteristic of:
a) Acute cutaneous lupus erythematosus
This slide shows a “rim” pattern ANA which is associated with autoantibodies to double-stranded DNA. These antibodies and the ANA pattern are relatively specific for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and are associated with more severe forms of SLE, such as acute cutaneous lupus erythematosus.

2. Which of the following is associated with this condition?
b) Rheumatoid arthritis
Pyoderma gangrenosum is associated with a number of other disorders including ulcerative colitis, regional enteritis, rheumatoid arthritis, infectious hepatitis, leukemia, myeloma, benign monoclonal gammopathy, Wegener granulomatosis, and Behçet syndrome. There is an increased incidence of arthritis in pyoderma gangrenosum, which appears to be associated with the pyoderma gangrenosum and not some underlying disease.
