Specialists at MDI Clinic, an Israeli medical center, offer a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating the disease to improve outcomes and reduce future risks.

Causes of polyarthritis

Joint inflammation can occur due to factors such as:

• trauma;
• infectious diseases of all kinds;
• Deposition of salts in the joints due to metabolic disorders;
• rheumatologic diseases;
• inflammatory vascular disease;
• endocrine diseases;
• psoriasis.

Such causes provoke the development of inflammation in the joint bag. This entails soreness, swelling and redness. The prolonged course of the disease causes cartilage tissue to be replaced by bone tissue. In this case, the joint gradually loses its functionality.

Classification of polyarthritis

Modern medicine suggests two main classifications of the disease:

• on the duration of course distinguish acute and chronic polyarthritis;
• depending on the cause, the disease is categorized into:
  • Rheumatoid – caused by antibodies to the body’s own joint tissues;
  • reactive – develops due to infections, symptoms appear a few days after the infectious disease;
  • crystalline, caused by salt deposition;
  • psoriatic with asymmetrical inflammation of the joints and characteristic skin lesions;
  • specific – develops due to the penetration of microorganisms into the joint.
