ACUTE ARTICULAR RHEUMATISM, ACUTE INFLAMMATORY RHEUMATISM Meaning and Definition

  1. Acute articular rheumatism (also known as acute inflammatory rheumatism) is a condition characterized by sudden and severe joint pain and inflammation. It is a type of rheumatic disease that primarily affects the joints, causing temporary but intense episodes of pain and swelling in multiple joints.

    The term "acute" in the context of this condition refers to the sudden onset and short duration of symptoms. "Articular" indicates that this condition mainly affects the joints, particularly the large weight-bearing joints such as the knees, hips, and ankles. "Rheumatism" is a general term used to describe any condition that causes pain, stiffness, and inflammation affecting the musculoskeletal system.

    The symptoms of acute articular rheumatism typically emerge rapidly and may include joint pain, redness, swelling, stiffness, and difficulty in moving the affected joint. The episodes of acute inflammation may last for a few days to several weeks before gradually subsiding. However, recurrent flare-ups can occur, leading to frequent relapses.

    The exact cause of acute articular rheumatism is not fully understood, but it is believed to be triggered by an abnormal immune response to certain bacterial or viral infections, particularly streptococcal infections. It is often seen as a complication of untreated or inadequately treated infections, such as strep throat or scarlet fever.

    Treatment for acute articular rheumatism aims to reduce pain and inflammation and prevent complications. It typically involves the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to alleviate symptoms and antibiotics to eliminate any underlying infections. Rest, physical therapy, and hot or cold therapy may also be recommended to manage symptoms and promote joint health.
