| rheumatoid arthritis |
An immunological disorder that is characterized by symmetrical polyarthritis, often progressing to crippling deformation after years of synovitis. It is associated with systemic immune activation. Acute-phase reactants are present in the peripheral blood, as well as rheumatoid factor (immunoglobulins specific for IgG), which forms immune complexes that are deposited in many tissues.
