Abstract:
Rheumatoid arthritis is not an uncommon disease in Egypt. Its aetiology is still unknown. In this paper, 3 out of 7 visceral leishmaniasis cases and 1 out of 7 controls gave positive rheumatoid factor. It was suggested that L. donovani infection plays a role in the aetiology of rheumatoid arthritis.
