Overview

UCTD should be differentiated from other causes of arthritis and rash such as SLE, Sjögren's syndrome, Rheumatoid arthritis

Differential Diagnosis

Differentiating undifferentiated connective tissue disease from other diseases that may cause arthritis and rash

Abbreviations: ANA: Antinuclear antibody, RF: Rheumatoid factor, Anti-CCp: Anti-cyclic citrullinated protein antibody, Anti U1RNP: Anti-U1 ribonucleoprotein antibodies , Anti Sm : Anti-Sm antibodies, Anti Ro: Anti Ro antibody also called anti-Sjögren's-syndrome-related antigen A antibody, Anti-dsDNA: Anti-double stranded DNA.

Disease Arthritis Auto-antibodies Raynaud phenomenon Rash pattern Distinguishing/specific features
Polyarthritis Tenderness Edema Deformity /Erosion Pattern ANA RF Anti-CCp Anti U1RNP Anti Sm Anti Ro Anti-dsDNA
Undifferentiated connective tissue disease (UCTD)[1] + - - - Lower extremity - - - - + Erythematous macules, patches, or papules with delicate scale Multiple connective tissue diseases with no enough criteria for a single diagnosis
Systemic lupus erythematosus[2] + + + - Small joints - - - - + Malar rash and photosensitivity
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)[3] + + + + Small and large joints - ↑↑ ↑↑ - - - - + Subcutaneous nodules Erosive arthropathy
Rhupus[4] + + + + Small and large joints - + Malar rash and photosensitivity Erosive arthropathy
Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD)[5] - - - + Small and large joints - ↑↑ - - - - + Cutaneous eruptions, gottron’s papules, photodistributed erythema, poikiloderma, and calcinosis cutis Overlapping features of SLE, systemic sclerosis (SSc), and polymyositis (PM) that lead to more than one diagnosis
Systemic sclerosis (SSc)[6] +/- + + +/- Lower extremity ↑↑ - - - - + Hyperkeratosis, edema, and erythema Sclerodactyly, Telangiectasias, Calcinosis, Malignant hypertension, acute renal failure
Sjögren’s syndrome[7] +/- +/- - - Lower extremity, axiallary creases - - - - - Xerosis, scaly skin, annular erythema Keratoconjunctivitis sicca
Vasculitis Giant cell[8] - + + - Distal extremity - - - - - - - - Rare Involvement of cranial branches of arteries, visual loss
Takayasu[9] - +/- +/- - Transient extremity - - - - - - - Erythema nodosum, pyoderma gangrenosum Absent or weak peripheral pulse
Poly-arteritis nodosa[10] - +/- - - General and mild - - - - - - - Tender erythematous nodules, purpura, livedo reticularis, bullous or vesicular eruption Testicular pain or tenderness and neuropathies
Behçet’s syndrome[11] +/- +/- +/- - medium and large joints - - - - - - - - Recurrent and usually painful mucocutaneous ulcers, acneiform lesions, papulo-vesiculo-pustular eruptions, superficial thrombophlebitis Male dominancy
Kikuchi’s disease[12] - +/- - - medium and large joints ↑/↓ - - - - - - - Transient skin rashes, malar rash, erythematous macules, patches, papules, or plaques May be associated with SLE
Serum sickness[13] + + +/- - General - - - - - - - - Pruritic rash, urticaria and/or serpiginous macular rash Self-limited
Psoriatic arthritis[14] - - - - Small and large joints - - - - - - - - Psoriasis and onychodystrophy Dactylitis (sausage digits)
Human parvovirus B19 infection[15] + + - - Small joints - - - - - - - - Erythematous rashes Rare in adults, fifth's disease in children
