Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis is the most found inflammatory auto immune disease with unknown etiology. Many clinical features and treatment strategies of RA are associated with multiple joint diseases. The clinical phenotype of Rhematoid arthritis is a symmetrical, deformed polyarthritis of small and large joints, which is often associated with features of the disease. The treatment typically involves ongoing management with periods of worsening symptoms followed by periods of improvement. Features of chronic synovitis are often associated with the distribution of peripheral “joints”. An example of infection is inflammation of synovium, which can damage cartilage. If it persists, it can lead to numerous systemic complications such as fatigue, subcutaneous nodules, lung involvement, pericarditis, peripheral neuropathy, vasculitis, and hematological abnormalities.
