BackgroundIt has been reported that the specificity for discriminating polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) was up to 70% with 2012 EULAR/ACR provisional classification criteria. There are many similarities between PMR and RA, especially late-onset RA, and it may lead to ...
It often presents with polymyalgia symptoms at diagnosis, sometimes complicating the differential diagnosis with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). While patients with PMR may have synovitis as well, it is usually mild and easily controlled with corticosteroids. In EORA, treatment with disease-modifying ...

Salvarani and Hunder for raising the issue that their studies of infliximab in polymyalgia rheumatica and GCA were not designed to test a small treatment effect of the agent above that achieved from corticosteroid alone.Raashid A. Luqmani
In this study, we compared the NLR, PLR, and MLR among patients with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and explored possible associations with clinical features, disease activity, and prognosis in patients with PMR. Methods The study enrolled 94 patients with PMR and ...
Therapy for polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) varies widely in clinical practice as international recommendations for PMR treatment are not currently available. In this paper, we report the 2015 European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR)/American College of Rheumatology (ACR) recommendations for the management...

The relationship between polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and inflammatory polyarthritis (IP) remains a source of debate in rheumatology: although both conditions have been classified separately as distinct entities, they share many clinical features.1–4 It remains unclear whether synovitis in IP is part...
Background Through the clinical experience of the ultrasound examination of the shoulder lesions in untreated patients with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and elderly-onset rheumatoid arthritis mimicking PMR (polymyalgic-EORA), we noted that there seems to be differences not in the kind or the ...
