Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis(RA) is a disease of chronic polyarticular inflammation that leads to joint swelling,
deformity and loss of joint function. RA occurs in 1 to 3% of the adult population with women affected
slightly more than men. In rheumatoid arthritis, the body's immune system attacks its own tissue,
including joints. In severe cases, it attacks internal organs.
Rheumatoid arthritis affects joint linings, causing painful swelling. Over long periods of time, the
inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis can cause bone erosion and joint deformity.
While there's no cure for rheumatoid arthritis, physiotherapy and medication can help slow the
disease's progression.
