| arthritis, psoriatic | Joint inflammation associated with psoriasis. (12 Dec 1998) |

| arthritis, quackery | Like many people with chronic ailments, sufferers from arthritis are potentially vulnerable to proponents of cure-all treatments which are promoted as having great benefits, but in reality have no right to such claims. (12 Dec 1998) |
| arthritis, reactive | An abacterial form of arthritis developing after infection at a site distant from the affected joint or joints. The causative bacteria cannot be cultured from synovial specimens but bacterial antigens have been demonstrated in cells from the synovial fluid and membrane. It often follows yersinia infection. (12 Dec 1998) |
| arthritis, reiter's | The combination of inflammation of the joints (arthritis), eyes (conjunctivitis), and GU (genitourinary) &/or GI (gastrointestinal) systems. (12 Dec 1998) |
| arthritis, rheumatoid | Autoimmune disease that is characterised by chronic inflammation of the joints and can cause inflammation of tissues in other areas of the body (such as the lungs, heart, and eyes). (12 Dec 1998) |
| arthritis, spondylitis | A form of arthritis causing chronic inflammation of the spine. (12 Dec 1998) |
| atrophic arthritis | An obsolete term for arthritis without new bone formation, now usually called rheumatoid arthritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| avian viral arthritis virus | A virus of the genus Reovirus, family Reoviridae, causing tenosynovitis and arthritis in chickens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caprine arthritis-encephalomyelitis | A worldwide disease of goats caused by the caprine arthritis-encephalomyelitis virus; two syndromes are recognised, encephalomyelitis in kids and more commonly arthritis in adults. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caprine arthritis-encephalomyelitis virus | A lentivirus causing caprine arthritis-encephalomyelitis in goats. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paediatric arthritis | Arthritis is not just a problem for the retired. It can and does affect children in the form of paediatric arthritis. Also called juvenile arthritis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| reactive arthritis | Reiter's syndrome is also called reactive arthritis since it is thought to involve the immune system which is reacting to the presence of bacterial infections in the genital, urinary, or gastrointestinal systems. Accordingly, certain people's immune systems are genetically primed to react aberrantly when these areas are exposed to certain bacteria. The aberrant reaction of the immune system leads to inflammation in the joints and eyes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gonococcal arthritis | Joint space infection in humans caused by disseminated Neisseria gonorrhoeae; characteristically monarticular, but may be polyarticular. Synonym: gonorrhoeal arthritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gonorrhoeal arthritis | Joint space infection in humans caused by disseminated Neisseria gonorrhoeae; characteristically monarticular, but may be polyarticular. Synonym: gonorrhoeal arthritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gout arthritis | <rheumatology> Recurrent acute arthritis of peripheral joints caused by the accumulation of monosodium urate crytals. Often presents as pain and swelling confined to one joint. The big toe joint is commonly affected. The arthritis occurs secondary to an inherited abnormality of purine metabolism, resulting in the deposition of uric acid crystals (sodium urate) within the joint space and articular cartilage. Usually due to overproduction of uric acid but may be a result of under excretion. The problems partly arise because neutrophils release lysosomal enzymes as a result of damage to the phagosome membrane by ingested crystals: colchicine acts to reduce the attack by inhibiting lysosome phagosome fusion.
