Other rheumatological disorders that can cause the features typical for RS3PE include late onset (seronegative) rheumatoid arthritis, acute sarcoidosis, ankylosing spondylitis and other spondyloarthropathies such as psoriatic arthropathy, mixed connective tissue disease, chondrocalcinosis and arthropathy due to amyloidosis.

Treatment can vary depending on the cause and severity of the condition. Physical therapy, acupuncture, and anti-inflammatory drugs are commonly used to treat the disease. In more severe cases, intra-articular corticosteroid injections or surgical joint replacement may be necessary. Joint drainage and antibiotics are used to treat septic arthritis.
In antisynthetase syndrome, arthritis is commonly described as a symmetrical, non-erosive polyarthritis of the small hands and feet that can sometimes mimic CTD-associated, rheumatoid, and seronegative inflammatory arthritis. [21] Arthritis is non-specific and occurs in about 18–55% of Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies. [21]
Arthritis is a form of arthropathy that involves inflammation of one or more joints, [3] [4] while the term arthropathy may be used regardless of whether there is inflammation or not. Joint diseases can be classified as follows: [citation needed] Arthritis; Infectious arthritis; Septic arthritis (infectious) Tuberculosis arthritis; Reactive ...
HLA-B27 is implicated in other types of seronegative spondyloarthropathy, such as reactive arthritis, acute anterior uveitis, iritis, Crohn's and ulcerative colitis associated spondyloarthritis. The shared association with HLA-B27 leads to increased clustering of these diseases.
Rheumatology (from Greek ῥεῦμα (rheûma) 'flowing current') is a branch of medicine devoted to the diagnosis and management of disorders whose common feature is inflammation in the bones, muscles, joints, and internal organs. [1]
Illustration of a Hand affected by Rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory disease that's caused by an autoimmune condition. The condition occurs when bodily cells begin to attack and target their own healthy joint tissues resulting in redness, inflammation, and pain.
Distal joints are frequently impacted by psoriatic arthritis, which is typically asymmetrical. [10] Up to 20% of people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) develop spondyloarthropathy. Those with Crohn's disease are more likely to have this association than those with ulcerative colitis. Arthritis may appear before clinical bowel disease.
