Endemic deforming arthritis - generalized osteoarthritis deformans with profound violation of the ossification process. Origin is unknown. It is believed that matter eating cereals contaminated by the fungus Fusarium sporotrichiella, or lack of calcium in water and soil. Well, they get children 6-14 years old. In the epiphysis of tubular bones develops a deep degenerative process (necrosis of cartilage, changes in articular surfaces with abundant marginal bone growths), leading to significant disfigurement of joints and bone dysplasia (short fingers, short stature).

Symptoms and flow. Characterized by slow progression of the disease with the gradual [more..]

Deforming Arthritis - the most common chronic degenerative joint disease related to osteoarthritis. It is based on the primary degeneration of articular cartilage with its progressive necrosis and resorption and subsequent bone growths on the edges of articular surfaces change their shape. All this leads to significant disfigurement of the joint. In addition, there is a secondary osteoarthritis, is an outcome of various diseases of the joints, most often of infectious arthritis. The etiology is unknown. Assume a complex influence of several factors: prolonged trauma, a significant acceleration of the joint, expressed by the aging of tissues and a violation of their food [more..]

Brucellosis Arthritis is one of the manifestations of brucellosis. The defeat of the joints develops most often in the hectic period of the disease and is toxic-allergic by the development of benign serous synovitis, or, less commonly, by metastatic to the development of osteoarthritis, manifested osteo-articular destruction and resistant strains of the joints.

Symptoms and flow. Primarily affect large and medium-sized joints with involvement in the process of soft periarticular tissues (mucous bags, tendons, etc.). The most typical localization is the sacroiliac joint, spine and clavicular joint. Brucellosis process in the joints is prolonged (average 8-1 [more..]
