Overview

Polyarthritis is any type of arthritis which involves five or more joints - an inflammation of two, three or four joints is an oligoarthritis.

Causes

Polyarthritis is most often caused by an auto-immune disorder such as Rheumatoid arthritis, Psoriatic arthritis, and Lupus erythematosus but can also be caused by infections such as Ross River Virus.

Differential Diagnosis of Polyarthritis

			Symptoms				Physical examination			Lab Findings				Imaging			Histopathology
Diseases			Clinical manifestations							Para-clinical findings								Gold standard	Additional findings
			Symptoms				Physical examination			Para-clinical findings
			Joint Swelling	Fever	Weight loss	Claudication	Morning stiffness	Local erythema	Skin manifestation	CBC	ESR	Synovial fluid	Other	X-ray	CT scan	Other	Histopathology
Polyarthritis	Infectious arthritis	Lyme disease^[1]	+	+	+/-	+/-	-	-	Erythema migrans	Leukopenia, Thrombocytopenia	-	Cell counts 500-98,000/µL	Microscopic hematuria, Proteinuria, ↑ALT or AST	-	-	-	Fibrosis of the deeper dermis and hyalinization of collagen bundles	Serologic tests	Erythema migrans
	Infectious arthritis	Bacterial endocarditis^[2]	+	+	+	-	-	+/-	Janeway lesions, Osler nodes, Roth spots	Normochromic-normocytic anemia	↑	↑WBC, S. aureus in culture	Hyperglobulinemia, Cryoglobulinemia	Joint erosion and effusion	-	-	Vegetation or intracardiac abscess demonstrating active endocarditis	Echocardiography (TTE)	Janeway lesions, Osler nodes, Roth spots, Vertebral osteomyelitis
	Postinfectious (reactive) arthritis	Rheumatic fever^[3]	+	+	-	-	-	+/-	Erythema marginatum rheumaticum	Leukocytosis	↑	Sterile inflammatory reaction with cells<20,000/μL	Streptococcal antibody titer	Cardiomegaly	Valvular or pericardial calcification	Echocardiographic changes in heart valves	Edema, Fibrinoid necrosis, Mononuclear cell infiltrate	Echocardiography	Chorea, Carditis
		Reactive arthritis
