Abstract: | Although rheumatoid arthritis is usually a chronic polyarthritis, it progresses in a wide variety of ways often with organ involvement. It is characterized by periods of exacerbation and remission. Successful management, which must be tailored to individual patients' requirements, involves a multidisciplinary approach coordinated by the physician. Counselling, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, adequate drug therapy and surgery all play a part. |
