ARTHRITIS & RHEUMATOLOGY by DR K. DELE
- 1. ARTHRITIS BY: DR KD DELE DEPT OF FAMILY MEDICINE DORA NGINZA HOSPITAL
- 3. INTRODUCTION • Joint pain can originate from the joint itself or from the surrounding tissues. • More than 100 rheumatic conditions • Overlap in clinical presentations • Initial presentation may not lead to a precise diagnosis in up to 50% of cases • Over time most patients will have characteristic features of a disease
- 4. INTRODUCTION, CONT. • Patients will typically complain of: • “Dr I have Arthritis” • Pain specific to certain joints or groups of joints • “My Body Is Sore!” • Careful History and Physical examination is required to discern between pathologies and to make a diagnosis. • DIAGNOSIS CAN BE MADE BASED ON HISTORY AND PHYSICAL EXAM FINDINGS 80-90% OF THE TIME
- 5. THE RHEUMATOLOGIC HISTORY • Pain is the cardinal symptom of musculoskeletal disorders DIAGNOSTIC APPROACH : • Establish the demographics of the patient: Age Gender Ethnicity Family History • Characterize joint pain and ask about associated features • Characterize the pain: Inflammatory vs. Non inflammatory • Constitutional symptoms
- 6. EVALUATION OF A PATIENT WITH ARTHRITIS IN RHEUMATOLOGY OPD • Articular or non articular • Inflammatory or non inflammatory • Acute or chronic • Monoarticular or polyarticular • Extra articular signs
