CHRONIC RHEUMATISM

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 238 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHR-CLI
CHRONIC RHEUMATISM .-ThiS
term
  has been somewhat loosely applied to various chronic
joint
  affections, sometimes of gouty origin or the result of rheumatoid arthritis. Strictly speaking, it may be applied to cases in which the
joint
  lesions persist after an attack of
rheumatism
 , and chronic inflammatory thickening of the tissues takes
place
 , so that they become stiff and deformed. It is also appropriate to certain joint affections occurring in later
life
  in rheumatic subjects, who are liable to repeated attacks of pain and stiffness in the
joints
 , usually induced by exposure to cold and wet. This form of
rheumatism
  is less migratory than the acute, and is commonly limited to one or two of the larger
joints
 . After repeated attacks the affected joints may become permanently stiff and painful, and crackling or creaking may occur on
movement
 . There is seldom any constitutional disturbance, and the
heart
  is not liable to be affected.
