Overview
Physical Examination
- Physical examination of patients with MCTD is usually remarkable by clinical features seen in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), dermatomyositis (DM), polymyositis, and scleroderma.
Appearance of the Patient
- Patient appears well in the earlier stages of the disease
- Patient appears ill in the late stages of the disease due to multi-organ involvement
Vital Signs
Skin
- Periungual telangiectasias and erythema may be present
- Skin may be Pallor
- Secondary to anemia
- Sclerodactyly
- Skin ulceration
HEENT
- HEENT examination of patients with mixed connective tissue disease is usually normal.
Neck
Lungs
Heart
- Cardiovascular examination of patients with mixed connective tissue disease is usually normal.
Abdomen
- Abdominal examination of patients with mixed connective tissue disease is usually normal.
Genitourinary
- Genitourinary examination of patients with mixed connective tissue disease is usually normal.
Neuromuscular
Extremities
- Joint swelling and tenderness
- Features of rheumatologic disease
- Arthritis
- Symmetric and polyarticular
- Mostly involve knees, carpal joints, and joints of the fingers, especially the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint
- Decrease range of motion
- Joints erythema
- Due to synovitis
- Joint effusion
