Overview:

(This case study was added to OER Commons as one of a batch of over 700. It has relevant information which may include medical imagery, lab results, and history where relevant. A link to the final diagnosis can be found at the end of the case study for review. The first paragraph of the case study -- typically, but not always the clinical presentation -- is provided below.)

The patient is a 10 year old female, active in dance classes. She is referred to rheumatology at UPMC following a week-long bout of malaise accompanied in the last several days by a pruritic lacy rash on her trunks and limbs (Figure 1). An anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) assay obtained by the outside physician at an outside laboratory was positive to a titer of 1:1,280.
