Abstract
A 45-year-old woman from northern Ontario presented to her local hospital with a 2-year history of asymmetric migratory arthralgias involving the left knee, ankles, elbows, and fingers. She also had morning stiffness, increasing fatigue, an erythematous, nonpruritic rash after sun exposure, and a 3-month history of chest pain that was relieved when she was in an upright position. She did not have fevers, dry eyes or mouth, oral ulcers, or eye irritation or pain.Keywords
