ARTICLE: 'Sacroiliitis and Severe Disability Due to Isotretinoin Therapy'

JOURNAL: Rheumatology International, 2009 June 17

SUMMARY: The authors reported a case of acute sacroiliitis with severe disability after only 3 weeks of isotretinoin therapy with graduate reduction of pain, limitation and muscle incompetence after discontinuation of the drug and ACTH-depo injection and Ethodolac therapy. The authors found a probable relationship between isotretinoin therapy and bilateral sacroiliitis and discussed possible mechanisms of sacroiliitis and disability due to isotretinoin treatment.
