Lyme disease, caused by a spirochete (bacteria) contracted through the bite of an infected deer tick, produces IA symptoms in its later stages but can include early symptoms such as rashes, fatigue, chills, fever, headache, and a stiff, aching neck.Although parvovirus arthritis commonly resolves on its own within a few weeks, 10% of patients may experience ongoing symptoms. Children with "fifth disease" due to parvovirus will often have a "slapped cheek" presentation of their rash, while their parents can present with a severe systemic inflammatory arthritis looking much like rheumatoid arthritis. Parvovirus arthritis is a contagious, viral form of arthritis that can cause flu-like symptoms and rashes along with usual IA symptoms.In certain cases, other organs such as the eyes and heart may be affected.
These conditions are associated with severe morning stiffness in the spine.
Gout is most common in the first toe, where it meets the foot (the metatarso-phalangeal joint), but may also involve a number of other joints, such as the midfoot, ankle, knee and bursa of the elbow. Gout and pseudogout, in which needle-like crystals of uric acid or rhomboid-shaped crystals of calcium pyrophosphate, respectively, form in cartilage and are released into the joint fluid, producing painful effects.Psoriatic arthritis, in which scaly spots may appear on the skin, along with swelling in multiple joints and back stiffness, and at times, diffuse swelling of a finger or toe, giving the digit a "sausage-like" appearance.The most common type of IA is rheumatoid arthritis (RA) – 1% of the world's population is affected by this condition (three women to every man), and RA is one of the most common potentially treatable causes of disability in the Western world. "Squeeze Test" of the MCP joints in the hand and MTP joints of the foot What are the different types of inflammatory arthritis? A positive result is an indication of the presence of inflammatory arthritis. In this test, the second through fourth metacarpo-phalangeal joints (see image, lower left) or the metatarso-phalangeal joints (see image, lower right) are squeezed together to test for tenderness.
#PEAK SPORT AND SPINE SKIN#
These symptoms are accompanied by extra-articular manifestations such as nodules, eye inflammation, and skin abnormalities.Ī simple test of the metacarpal-phalangeal (MCP) joints can be performed to rule out osteoarthritis. However, patients with IA present with joint warmth (and occasional redness), soft swelling of the joints, and constitutional symptoms such as fever, weight loss, malaise, morning stiffness greater than 30 minutes and generalized fatigue. Mechanical arthritis is joint-localized, presents with spurs of new bone from the joints, and tends not be associated with systemic symptoms. Whereas mechanical arthritis ( osteoarthritis) most commonly presents after the age of 50 and increases in frequency with age, inflammatory arthritis (IA) tends to involve a broader age spectrum, often striking patients in the peak working and child-rearing age group. How do you differentiate between mechanical arthritis and inflammatory arthritis?
