Enfermedad indiferenciada del tejido conectivo: reporte de un caso

Abstract

Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease (UCTD) is an autoimmune pathology of unknown origin. Its clinical presentation is diverse, as it presents signs and symptoms that affect the joints, tissues, and organs that could indicate a connective tissue disease. Nevertheless, it does not meet the necessary criteria to be considered as such, thus being related to autoimmune syndromes such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and systemic sclerosis, among others. The clinical case of a 42-year-old patient is presented, who was admitted for suspected UCTD, which was confirmed during his hospital stay through clinical findings and complementary studies.
