Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Rheumatology
  • Immunogenetics

Background:

  • Musculoskeletal manifestations like synovitis and osteitis are associated with severe acne and pustulosis.
  • Previous terms have described these multifaceted conditions, with recent links to spondarthritides suggested by HLA-B27 prevalence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical, epidemiological, pathophysiological, immunogenetic, and diagnostic aspects of SAPHO syndrome.
  • To discuss the management strategies for SAPHO syndrome.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of past 30 years on musculoskeletal manifestations linked to acne and pustulosis.
  • Analysis of clinical, epidemiological, pathophysiological, and immunogenetic data.
  • Review of diagnostic criteria and management approaches.

Main Results:

  • The SAPHO syndrome (Synovitis, Acne, Pustulosis, Hyperostosis, Osteitis) unifies these related conditions.
  • Shared musculoskeletal features in severe acne and pustulosis patients are highlighted.
  • Potential associations with spondarthritides, including HLA-B27, sacroiliitis, and IBD, are noted.

Conclusions:

  • SAPHO syndrome provides a unifying concept for a spectrum of inflammatory conditions.
  • Further research into immunogenetics and pathophysiology is warranted.
  • Standardized diagnostic and management protocols are needed.
