Polyarthritis (clinical approach)
- 1. POLYARTHRITIS Presented by : Ankita Priydarshini MBBS - Phase III/II Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, KLE University Belagavi, Karnataka
- 2. Topics covered • Definition • Classification • Rheumatoid Arthritis • Osteoarthritis • Sero-negative Spondyloarthropathies • Distinguishing features • Assessment of joint pain
- 3. Definition • Arthritis - Inflammation of joint marked by pain, swelling, redness & increased temperature in the affected region. • Arthralgia?
- 4. • MONOARTHRITIS - 1 joint involvement • PAUCI / OLIGOARTHRITIS - 2 or 3 joint involvement • POLYARTHRITIS - 4 or more joint involvement
- 5. Classification Classification with causes Inflammatory * Infections *Immunologic * Crystal induced * Reactive Acute bacterial, mycotic, syphilitic, viral, tuberculous arthritis, septicaemia, Lyme disease RA, SLE, Sero-negative spondyloarthritides Gout, pseudo-gout Reiter’s syndrome, Behcet’s syndrome Mechanical Degenerative joint disease - osteoarthrosis Metabolic Hypothyroidism, Acromegaly, Cushing’s disease, Amyloidosis, Wilson’s disease Neoplastic Paraneoplastic arthropathies, Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy Drug induced Thiazides causing gout, drug induced lupus Miscellaneous Intestinal bypass arthritis, Whipple’s disease
- 6. RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS Chronic inflammatory joint disease with multisystem involvement. *Epidemiology - • Incidence 1.4/10000 male, 3.6/10000 females • Prevalence 0.5-2 % • male:female 1:3 • Worldwide distribution - higher in native Americans absent in some parts of Africa • Onset any age but maximum - 40 - 70 years in women , 60 - 70 years in men
- 8. * Onset Typical -Insidious onset polyarthritis -Affecting small joints of hand & feet - Fatigue, anorexia, weakness & vague musculoskeletal symptoms Atypical -Polymyalgic -Palindromic -Systemic -Persistent monoarthritis
- 9. • Symmetrical deforming polyarthritis -Affects synovial lining of joints, bursae and tendons -More than just joint disease • Progression of joint involvement -Spread occurs within months to years to other joints -Almost any joint may be involved -Spontaneous remission can occur -Poor prognosis – RA factor exists • Symptoms Of inflammation -Stiffness, pain, swelling, warmth, redness * Clinical Features
- 10. Pattern of joint involvement • symmetrical • small joints of hands - DIP spared • characteristic features -Boutonniere -Swan neck -Z thumb -Volar subluxation -Ulnar deviation

- 12. • Lung - pleural effusion,interstitial fibrosis, Caplan’s syndrome • Cardiac - pericarditis,premature atherosclerosis,conduction defects, valvular involvement • Vasculitis - cutaneous ulcerations,digital gangrene; visceral infarction-stroke, Acute MI, mesentric arteritis • Neurological - nerve entrapment, spinal compression • Felty’s syndrome - (Neutropenia + RA) with splenomegaly
- 14. • Morning stiffness > 1 hours • Arthritis in 3 or more joints • Bilateral compression pain in MP joints • IgM RA factor > 5 I.U. * Predictive factors for persistent RA
- 15. • Most common joint disorder • Affects 190 million worldwide • Nearly 70% of people over 65 years • Aging population over 65 years -1997~ 400 million ( 70 million plus in India ) -2025~ 800 million ( 150 million plus in India ) • In India has overtaken diabetes, and now ranks 1st in chronic debilitating disease. OSTEOARTHRITIS
- 16. • Trauma • Diabetes • Obesity • Age • Systemic diseases - RA * Predisposing factors
- 18. • Old patient • Females > males • Lower limb joints~ knees, hips, 1st CM joint • Rest pain • Pain during movement • Crepitus • Characteristic deformities * Clinical Features
- 20. 0 – No features of osteoarthritis 1 – Doubtful, osteophyte of doubtful significance 2 – Minimal, definite osteophyte but joint space unimpaired 3 – Moderate, moderate diminution of joint space 4 – Severe, Joint space severely impaired with sclerosis of sub-chondral bone * Kellegren & Lawrence Scale for Osteoarthritis
- 21. • Ankylosing spondylitis • Reactive arthritis (including Reiter’s syndrome) • Psoriatic spondyloarthropathy • Inflammatory bowel disease(Enteropathic spondyloarthropathy) • Juvenile spondyloarthropathy • Unclassifiable or undifferentiated spondyloarthropathy SERO-NEGATIVE SPONDYLOARTHROPATHIES
- 22. • Seronegative, that is, rheumatoid factor is absent • Affect the axial skeleton; inflammatory low back pain is common. • Cardinal feature is involvement of sacroiliac joints • Peripheral joint involvement is usually asymmetrical Oligoarticular, below waist • Usually associated with HLA-B27. • Enthesopathy is characteristic • Usual age < 40 years • Male preponderance * Features
- 23. I. Ankylosing Spondylitis • Spondyloarthropathy • Late adolescence & early adulthood • Spine & large joints • Leads to fibrous/bony ankylosis
- 24. • Male predisposition 4:1 • Autosomal inheritance • 70% penetrance • 90% association with HLA B27 • Rare in negroes * Etiology
- 25. • Similar to RA • Articular & bone destruction • Fibrous & bony bridging • Para- articular calcification & ossification • Bamboo spine * Pathology
- 26. • Morning pain & stiffness • Sacroiliac pain • Muscle spasm- flexed posture • Wt loss, anaemia • Decreased chest expansion • Ankylosis * Clinical features
- 27. *Monosodium urate crystals -Gouty Arthritis *Calcium Pyrophosphate crystals -Chondroclacinosis *Calcium hydroxyapatite crystals -Calcific Periarthritis destructive arthropathy II. Crystal Arthropathies
- 28. Primary Gout -Heritable Error of metabolism -Causing overproduction or retraction of uric acid Secondary Gout -Myeloproliferatic disease -Chronic glomerulo-nephritis and pyelonephritis -Hypothyroidism * Types
- 29. • Hyperuricaemia • Monoarticular in early stage • MCP joint - great toe • Uric acid crystal deposition • Tophus • Punched out para-articular lytic lesion • Tophi & synovial fluid shows presence of MSU crystals- confirmatory of diagnosis * Gout
- 30. • Younger age group compared to gout • Larger joints involved compared to gout • Knee most commonly involved • Severity of clinical features less compared to gout • Calcification of cartilages hallmark sign * Pseudogout

- 38. Assessment of Joint Pain Site (distribution) Type of pain Associated features Duration & onset Risk factors Physical Signs Differential Diagnosis Investigations
- 39. Site & distribution of pain • Is it joint, peri-articular or muscle pain? • Which joints are involved? • Is it symmetrical or asymmetrical? • Where did it start? • Is the arthritis migratory, additive, episodic?
- 40. RA PIP, MCP, wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck,knee, ankle, MTP, symmetrical DIP not involved Sero-ve DIP, dactylitis, enthesitis, spinal PIP not involved asymmetrical OA Weight bearing joints DIP, PIP, CMC, ACJ MP not involved
- 41. Type of Pain • Is it inflammatory? • Is it mechanical / degenerative? • What makes the pain worse/better? Inflammatory Mechanical Immobility stiffness Latter day EMS>30- 60 mins EMS<30-60 mins Better with activity Worse with activity Joint swelling, erythema, heat Instability Systemic symptoms Locking Multi-organ involvement Trauma, strain
- 42. • Is there morning stiffness? • Have there been any symptoms of infection? • Have there been any rashes ? • Any urinary, genital or gut problems? Associated features
- 43. • When did the joint pains begin? • Are the symptoms getting better or worse? Duration & Onset Acute Chronic * Viral - parvo/rubella * Bacterial - strep * Rheumatoid * Reactive - GU/Gastro * Erythema nodosum * Vasculitis * Rheumatoid * Sero - negative - Psoriatic/ IBD * Connective tissue disease - SLE/SjS * Polyarticular OA
- 44. • Age • Sex • Racial/ethnic background • Family history • Treatment history • Social history Other risk factors
- 45. • Joint distribution +/- spine • Skin and appendages • Rash, nodules, eyes, mouth ulcers, hair • Temp, LNs, CVS, RS, Abdomen, Neurological Physical Signs
