    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Jaccoud polyarthritis is a rare complication of rheumatic fever, characterized by severe, recurrent attacks.
    • It presents as a painless, deforming arthritis of the small joints in the hands and feet, potentially with metacarpal head erosion.
    • Established cases typically show significant rheumatic heart disease.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the clinical and radiographic features of Jaccoud arthropathy.
    • To explore potential diverse etiologies beyond rheumatic fever.

    Main Methods:

    • Case review of patients presenting with clinical and radiographic features of Jaccoud arthropathy.
    • Assessment of patient history for antecedent rheumatic fever.

    Main Results:

    • Two patients exhibited Jaccoud arthropathy features without a prior history of rheumatic fever.
    • Radiological findings consistent with Jaccoud arthropathy were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Jaccoud arthropathy may present in individuals without a history of rheumatic fever.
    • The condition potentially has diverse underlying causes beyond rheumatic fever.
