• RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS.
• Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic inflammatory polyarthritis which has similarities with other such arthritides such as psoriatic arthropathy, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and ankylosing spondylitis. ...
• Storey et al (1994) looked at patients who had chronic arthritis in the early 19th century and found that many of the cases resembled what we would now call rheumatoid arthritis. However, Hansen (1995) reviewed three dissertations on arthritis, in Latin, by William Musgrove (1655-1721) and found that 18 of 150 case reports include polyarticular long-lasting joint pain in women which had many traits compatible with rheumatoid arthritis. Although diagnostic interpretation of old medical text is difficult, this all suggests that rheumatoid arthritis was not uncommon at the turn of the 17th century.
• Rheumatoid arthritis implies that arthritis is the essential feature of the condition. However, the non-articular systemic effects of the condition are likely to influence the morbidity and mortality greatly, and it was not until 1949 that Ellman introduced the term "rheumatoid disease" to change the emphasis from joints to it being a systemic condition.
• Rheumatoid arthritis is a condition which occurs worldwide with a variable incidence and severity. ...
• The cause of rheumatoid arthritis is unknown. However, it is believed that the presence of an antigen may lead to activation of the immune system responsible for the clinico-pathological features of rheumatoid arthritis.
• It is known that immunogenetic susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis exists. McDermott et al (1988) found that a majority of patients with rheumatoid arthritis carrying HLA-DR4 or HLA-DR1 MHC class II molecules. Work by Nepom et al (1989), using oligonucleotide proteins, found that it was the HLA-DW4 and HLA-Dw14 subtypes of HLA-DR4 that promote susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis.
• Calin et al (1989) studied 52 patients with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis and 53 patients with seronegative rheumatoid arthritis. ...
• The frequency of DR4 was 69% in seropositive rheumatoid arthritis patients and 60% in seronegative rheumatoid arthritis patients, compared to 36% in healthy controls. They also found, by comparing hand radiographs, that HLA-DR4 was associated with destructive rheumatoid arthritis in seropositive and seronegative rheumatoid arthritis patients. ...

• Understanding Rheumatoid Arthritis.
•   What is Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)?.
• Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that can cause chronic inflammation of the joints and other areas of the body. ...
• Rheumatoid arthritis can affect persons of all ages. ...
• The cause of rheumatoid arthritis is not known. ...
• Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease, characterized by periods of disease flares and remissions. ...
• In rheumatoid arthritis, multiple joints are usually, but not always, affected in a symmetrical pattern. ...
• Chronic inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis can cause permanent joint destruction and deformity. ...
• The "rheumatoid factor" is an antibody blood test that can be found in 80 % of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. ...
• There is no known cure for rheumatoid arthritis. ...
• The treatment of rheumatoid arthritis optimally involves a combination of patient education, rest and exercise, joint protection, medications, and occasionally surgery. ...
• Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease which causes chronic inflammation of the joints, the tissue around the joints, as well as other organs in the body. ... Because it can affect multiple other organs of the body, rheumatoid arthritis is referred to as a systemic illness and is sometimes called rheumatoid disease. While rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic illness, meaning it can last for years, patients may experience long periods without symptoms.
• Arthritis means joint inflammation. The joint inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis causes swelling, pain, stiffness, and redness in the joints. The inflammation of rheumatoid disease can also occur in tissues around the joints, such as the tendons, ligaments, and muscles. In some patients with rheumatoid arthritis, chronic inflammation leads to the destruction and deformity of the joints.
