Rheumatism
Rheumatism is one of the diseases of the immune system that affects different parts of the human body, where chronic inflammation occurs in the joints and connective tissues causing swelling and severe pain for the patient. Rheumatism is caused by a malfunction of the immune system. Instead of protecting the body from bacteria or viruses that attack the body, the immune system attacks connective tissue inside the joints and other organs of the human body such as the lungs, skin, eyes, heart, and blood vessels, and as a result of this inflammation bones erosion occurs and malformation of joints, and in severe cases, rheumatism causes a physical and functional disability for the patient.
Kinds of rheumatism
- Type 1: Non-inflammatory diseases, where joint erosion occurs without inflammation in the surrounding tissues, including degenerative bone erosion and osteoporosis.
- Type 2: – Inflammatory diseases that affect the bones, joints, and muscles, and are divided into two types:
- Non-articular inflammatory diseases: affecting connective tissue and muscles, for example, scleroderma, lupus erythematosus, Sjögren’s syndrome, and other diseases.
- Non-articular inflammatory diseases: affect the joints and the surrounding tissues, for example rheumatoid arthritis, gout, rheumatic fever, heart rheumatism, ankylosing spondylitis, Cushing’s syndrome, and other diseases.
