Case Report: Migratory Polyarthritis as the Presenting Symptom of GPA

This case highlights the importance of adding AAV to potential causes of migratory polyarthritis and a false positive RF test because early recognition is vital. Screening for renal disease by obtaining a routine urinalysis is important in patients with AAV because early renal involvement is typically asymptomatic.

Adil Vural, MD, is a third-year internal medicine resident at Cleveland Clinic Fairview Hospital. He is going to start a rheumatology fellowship at Cleveland Clinic after his graduation.

Kinanah Yaseen, MD, is a staff rheumatologist at Cleveland Clinic. She completed her rheumatology fellowship, then a vasculitis fellowship at Cleveland Clinic.
