Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Rheumatology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Differential diagnosis considered Plasmocytoma in a 38-year-old male presenting with severe musculoskeletal pain and fever.
  • Initial investigations were extensive, necessitating further evaluation for other potential etiologies.

Observation:

  • Patient presented with severe musculo-arthral pain and a body temperature of 39°C.
  • Radiological examination revealed hip joint distraction, bone erosion, severe osteoporosis, and periarticular calcifications.

Findings:

  • Serological tests for Lyme disease returned positive, confirming the diagnosis.
  • Treatment with Vibramycin for 30 days led to normalization of body temperature and reduced pain severity.

Implications:
