Case Report: Lupus Nephritis or a Mimic?
Syphilis, an ancient disease caused by the spirochete Treponema pallidum, has been historically referred to as the great mimicker given its heterogenous presentation. Both systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and syphilis can have multi-systemic involveÂment.

Conversations with 4 Dual-Certified Rheumatologists
Dual certification is neither a conventional nor a low-stress career path in medicine. But choosing to train in specialties complementary to rheumatology, such as pulmonary/critical care or allergy/immunology, can offer more expansive career and research opportunities. This career choice can lead to a better understanding of complex disease, and the ability to better care for…
Rheumatologists Share Lessons Learned in the Wake of Hurricane Ida
Hurricane Ida intensified in the last two weeks of August 2021, battering the Cayman Islands and Cuba before hitting the Louisiana coast as a Category 4 storm just before Labor Day weekend.1 At landfall, Ida blasted southern Louisiana with maximum sustained winds of 150 knots, then turned in a north-northwestern direction to hit the New…
