Psoriatic arthritis psoriatic arthritis, and affect them symmetrically. Involvement of the spinal joints is more suggestive of psoriatic arthritis than rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis shares certain clinical features with psoriatic arthritis such as its tendency to affect multiple distal joints in an asymmetric pattern. Unlike psoriatic arthritis, osteoarthritis does not typically involve inflammation of the sacroiliac joint. Psoriatic arthritis sometimes affects only one joint and is sometimes confused for gout or pseudogout when this happens. There are five main types of psoriatic arthritis: The underlying process in psoriatic arthritis is inflammation; therefore, treatments are directed at reducing and controlling inflammation. Milder cases of
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis day is a common feature (this implies inflammatory-type joint pain versus mechanical-type joint pain). Late effects of arthritis include joint contracture (stiff, bent joint due to fibrosis) and joint damage. Children with JIA vary in the degree to which they are affected by particular symptoms. Symptoms may also differ between sexes, affecting girls and boys differently among different geographic locations. This is predicted to be due to biological differences in different geographic regions. Children may also have swollen joints (inflammatory swelling, or in chronic arthritis due to synovial membrane proliferation and thickening, and periarticular soft-tissue swelling). Eye disease: JIA is
