    Hello,

    Please describe also as exactly as possible how the thoracical pain is: where located, dull or sharp, always or alternating? In the latter case: in which situation do they get worse? Are they related to in- or expiration?

    Please be so kind to tell us which tests have been performed? ECG? X-ray? Auscultation?

    Any possible risk factors: Smoking, toxics? When was the first onset?

    I think, it would be useful to provide all laboratory results you have.

    The way i see it you need to consider the following
    If you have muscle pain or joint pain or any other systemic complain of that nature checking for lupus or dermatomyocitis or any other autoimmune disease might be relevent.

    If you have had the symtoms like interrmitant fever or night sweats or weight loss , checking for TB is worth it , and i was wondering if you had any chest x rays before and if anything showed on them?

    I am thinking of Infectious mononecleousis too and maybe you have a heart issue (rhematic fever might be relevant) and sarcoidosis might account for your skin and chest pain together


    Did you have an ANA test done? CRP ESR anything i need the full list of tests you did
    And i need to know the time frame when did the rash appear? before or after and more details about the pain and rash , it is either autoimmune (SLE or dermatomyocitis) , infectious( TB , EBV , Rheumatic fever) , or actually simply sarcoidosis like the Drs said

    If you send me all the tests you did the time frame of your symptoms and what medications you've been on, i can be of more help

    All the best

    have you considered Wegeners granulomatosis as your diagnosis (granulomatosis with polyangitis)....it seems like that to me with the skin and lung involvement...had a similar case few yrs ago..was treated fpr sarcoidosis for 10yrs only to b diagnpsed later on as wegeners.....please have ur serum cANCA levels checked..correlate clinically with your treating physician.

    Hey dude :) , I think it is highly unlikely to be Wegners, Wegner's needs at least some type of kidney involvment (which is a very important part of the criteria) which can be detected after a simple urinalysis that is a routine test in all arab countries it would detect some RBCs or anything that might lead to wegners , lung involvement is a major criteria but skin on the other hand is not and she only has chest pain , if it was wegners and for 2 years and only treated with steroids not cyclophosphamide she would be either dead or coughing up blood so the time frame and symptoms really don't go with wegners unless it was a really really really rare presentation i don't know of , not to mention she didn't mention upper airway problems or eye problems or joint pain , if there was a case u saw that ended up to be wegners i would like to know more about it cuz it is very intresting

    regards :)

    Thank you Ahmad for the enlightenment but i would just say that all the diagnostic criterias for all the disease are made to standardize a diagnostic approach and reach our diagnosis with ease. However, one must remember that in clinical practise patients might not present to you with text book symptoms and findings as the disease manifestations vary in every individual. If you dig deep into standard textbooks like Harrison or Davidson, you will definetly find the incidences of a particular system involvement in each disease. Likewise, in Wegener's whose name has recently changed to Polyangitis with granulomatosis has a definite diagnostic criteria but in atypical cases it is not necessary to fulfil all the criteria to reach your diagnosis, depending on the system involvement in the patient. She may have an underlying renal disease which may not be symptomatic yet or undiagnosed but suspecting something clinically is a possibility. Furter work ups are necessary to reach a potential diagnosis.
    Thank you.
