The word arthritis comes from Greek and means joint inflammation. The following joint problems can occur are: pain, swelling, heat and movement restriction. There is also a joint effusion. This means that fluid accumulates in the joints.
A joint inflammation can be acute, so come on suddenly or develop slowly. You can take a lasting(chronic) course and made a long time.
The inflammation of a single joint is referred to as monoarthritis, of two or three joints as oligoarthritis. If more than three affected joints, one speaks of a polyarthritis.
What are the causes of arthritis?
Arthritis can have various causes. Frequent infections with bacteria or other pathogens are responsible for joint inflammation. You can either directly cause the joint inflammation or arthritis occurs as a result of infection outside of joints. Such immune responses are as certain infections of the gastrointestinal tract or the reproductive organs known. In the fight against pathogens, the body forms antibodies that may then lead to joint inflammation.
Other possible causes of arthritis include rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis (psoriasis), or metabolic diseases such as gout.
