recombinant, nucleosome,anti-Jo-1,anti ds-DNA,etc.
Case presentation: A 28-year-old lady presented with complaints of multiple joint pain since 3 days along with
weakness. She also complained about low grade fever associated with chills and rigor, vomiting, headache and body
ache. There was involvement of morning stiffness in small joints of fingers and toes. Reports were done and she was
eventually treated according to it.
Conclusion: The work has reported a rare case of an adult patient with MCTD characterized by a severe multiple joint

Methotrexate and analagesic (Tramadol and Paracetamol).
