| suppurative arthritis | Acute inflammation of synovial membranes, with purulent effusion into a joint, due to bacterial infection; the usual route of infection is hemic to the synovial tissue, causing destruction of the articular cartilage, and may become chronic, with sinus formation, osteomyelitis, deformity, and disability. Synonym: purulent synovitis, pyarthrosis, pyogenic arthritis, suppurative synovitis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| degenerative arthritis | <pathology> A form of arthritis that results in the destruction of the articular cartilage that line the joints. Seen predominately in the larger weight bearing joints of the hips, knees and spine, but may also be evident in the small joints of the hands. (27 Sep 1997) |
| dermatitis-arthritis-tenosynovitis syndrome | <syndrome> Disseminated infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae, causing skin lesions (often pustular or necrotic), plus synovitis of major joints (such as knee, ankle, elbow), and tendon sheaths. (05 Mar 2000) |
| systemic-onset juvenile chronic arthritis | See: Systemic-onset juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (still's disease). (12 Dec 1998) |
| systemic-onset juvenile rheumatoid arthritis | <rheumatology> A form of joint disease, arthritis, that presents with systemic upset. Clinical signs: high intermittent fever, a salmon-coloured skin rash, swollen lymph glands, enlargement of the liver and spleen, and inflammation of the lungs (pleuritis) and around the heart (pericarditis). The arthritis itself may not be immediately apparent but once apparent, it may persist after the systemic symptoms have resolved. Synonym: Still's disease. (03 Jul 1999) |
| ochronotic arthritis | Osteoarthritis occurring as a complication of ochronosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| elbow, arthritis of the | Inflammation (arthritis) of the elbow joint can be due to many systemic forms of arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis, gouty arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and Reiter's disease. Generally, they are associated with signs of inflammation of the elbow joint, including heat, warmth, swelling, pain, tenderness, and decreased range of motion. Range of motion of the elbow is decreased with arthritis of the elbow because the swollen joint impedes the range of motion (12 Dec 1998) |
| enteropathic arthritis | A form of arthritis sometimes resembling rheumatoid arthritis which may complicate the course of ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, or other intestinal disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Jaccoud's arthritis | A rare form of chronic arthritis, reported to occur after attacks of acute rheumatic fever, characterised by an unusual form of bone erosion of the metacarpal heads and by ulnar deviation of the fingers; it resembles rheumatoid arthritis, but with less overt inflammation, and rheumatoid factor is absent. Synonym: Jaccoud's arthropathy. (05 Mar 2000) |

| juvenile rheumatoid arthritis | <pathology> Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) is a form of rheumatoid arthritis in children that generally occurs prior to age 16. In contrast with the adult type, a fever is more pronounced. Cardiac involvement with pericarditis is more common. The arthritis favors one or more large joints and can interfere with normal bone growth. A positive rheumatoid factor is seen more uncommonly in this form of arthritis. Treatment is similar to the adult form of the disease. Up to 75% recover with treatment. Less than 10% are severely disabled by JRA. (27 Sep 1997) |
| juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, systemic-onset | Also known as systemic-onset juvenile chronic arthritis. Still's disease presents with systemic (bodywide) illness including high intermittent fever, a salmon-coloured skin rash, swollen lymph glands, enlargement of the liver and spleen, and inflammation of the lungs (pleuritis) and around the heart (pericarditis). The arthritis may not be immediately apparent but it does always surface and it may persists long after the systemic symptoms are gone. (12 Dec 1998) |
| filarial arthritis | Arthritis occurring in filariasis, probably due to extravasation of lipid-rich lymph resembling chyle into the joint space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fungal arthritis | <pathology, rheumatology> Infection of a joint space by fungus. Common fungi that can cause mycotic arthritis include coccidioidomycosis, histoplasmosis, blastomycosis, cryptococcosis, sporotrichosis and candidiasis. Infection of a joint generally occurs as a result of a primary fungal infection in the lungs. Treatment is with antifungal agents (for example amphotericin B, ketoconazole). (27 Sep 1997) |
