Minor criteria | Plus one of the following |

Threshold of diagnosis: ≥2 major criteria or 1 major plus 3 minor criteria | Threshold of diagnosis: Both 1 and 2, plus A or B |
The Jansson criteria do not include other associated conditions in major criteria #3, such as inflammatory bowel disease. Another limitation of these criteria is that one would not make the diagnosis on the basis of major criteria #3 and minor criteria A, B, and C alone.
Caution is urged when making the diagnosis based upon clavicular involvement alone rather than involvement of more than one bone (see Bristol criteria A). Even though the clavicle is a typical site of involvement, the findings can also be due to malignancy.CRP: C-reactive protein; ERS: erythrocyte sedimentation rate; PPP: palmoplantar pustulosis; STIR MRI: short tau inversion recovery magnetic resonance imaging.
* Defined as less than 2 times the upper limit of normal.
