Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Immunology
  • Infectious Diseases

Context:

  • Inflammatory joint diseases require a structured diagnostic approach.
  • Distinguishing between monoarthritis, oligoarthritis, and polyarthritis is the initial step.

Purpose:

  • To outline the diagnostic pathway for inflammatory joint diseases.
  • To detail laboratory and imaging investigations.
  • To describe therapeutic options.

Summary:

  • The diagnostic process begins with classifying joint inflammation as mono-, oligo-, or polyarthritis.
  • Exclusion of septic or crystal-induced arthritis via synovial fluid analysis is crucial.
  • Immunological, bacteriological tests, and imaging aid in diagnosis.
  • Treatment involves NSAIDs, coxibs, antibiotics, or corticosteroids based on diagnosis and symptoms.
