▪ Peak incidence: 20-50 years of age
Rheumatoid arthritis most often presents in ———- individuals
HLA-D4 (+)

Lab findings of Rheumatoid arthritis
Serum rheumatoid factor (most often IgM); (highly characteristic but not specific for Rheumatoid Arthritis)
Stages of of Rheumatoid arthritis?
1) Synovitis
2) Pannus
3) Fibrous ankylosis
4) Bony ankylosis
Rheumatoid arthrtis
Morphological feature:
- ———- w/ Lympho-plasmacytic infiltrates and oedema
- Hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the synovial lining cells → ———-
- Granulation tissue (——–) over articular cartilage
- Extension of pannus to sub-chondral bone → gradual ——- of bones and cartilage
- Subcutaneous nodules
- Cystic change sof the ’—————’ centre
- Palisading epitheliod (histocytes) macrophages
- Synovitis w/ Lymph-plasmacytic infiltrates and oedema
- Hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the synovial lining cells → finger-like villi
- Granulation tissue (pannus) over articular cartilage
- Extension of pannus to sub-chondral bone → gradual erosions of bones and cartilage
- Subcutaneous nodules
- Cystic change sof the ‘nercrobiotic’ centre
- fibrinoid necrosis
- palisading epithelioid macrophages

features of?
Rheumatoid arthritis
CM of Rheumatoid arthritis
1) Morning joint stiffness
2) Joint swelling
3) fever, fatigue, weight loss (systemic symptoms)
4) Symmetrical joint involvement
5) Ulnar deviation of fingers
6) PIP and MCP joints of the hand (75% involved)
7) minimal radial deviation of teh wrist
Which joints are the most commonly affected by Rheumatoid arthritis?
1) Wrists (minimal radial deviation)
2) MCP and PIP joints of the hand
Chracteristic Chronic joint changes in Rheumatoid arthritis
1) “Swan neck” deformity of the fingers
2) Botuonniere deformity of the thumb
3) Ulnar deviation of the MCP joints
Extra-Articular manifestations of Rheumatoid arthritis
▪ Pleural and pericardial effusions
▪ Pulmonary involvement (pleuritis)
▪ Secondary reactive amyloidosis
▪ Vasculitis
▪ Anaemia of chronic disease

* Varient of Rheumatoid arthritis
Still disease is aka?
Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis
Still disease is associated w/?
generalised lymphadenopathy and
hepatosplenomegaly
Seronegative Arthritis is aka?
Spondylo-Arthropathies
———- Individals have high incidence of developing Seronegative arthritis
HLA-27(+)
In Seronegative Arthritis there is [Presence/Absence] of Rheumatoid factor (RF)
Absence
CM of Seronegative arthritis
