Molecular Detection of Bacterial Etiology of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background and purpose: Etiology of rheumatoid arthritis is not fully recognized. The purpose of this study was to use universal and specific primers to trace bacteria in the blood and synovial fluid in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Materials and methods: In this experimental study, a PCR method was developed to identify a wide range of bacteria in general and Staphylococcus aureus in sp...
متن کاملEpidemiology of adult rheumatoid arthritis.
Several incidence and prevalence studies of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have been reported during the last decades, suggesting a considerable variation of the disease occurrence among different populations. The majority of studies carried out in Northern European and North American areas estimate a prevalence of 0.5-1%, and a mean annual incidence of 0.02-0.05%. The occurrence of the disease seem...
متن کاملThe epidemiology of rheumatoid arthritis.
Studies of the descriptive epidemiology of RA indicate a population prevalence of 0.5% to 1% and a highly variable annual incidence (12-1200 per 100,000 population) depending on gender, race/ethnicity, and calendar year. Secular trends in RA incidence over time have been shown in several studies, supporting the hypothesis of a host-environment interaction. People with RA have a significantly in...
متن کاملEpidemiology and genetics of rheumatoid arthritis
The prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is relatively constant in many populations, at 0.5-1.0%. However, a high prevalence of RA has been reported in the Pima Indians (5.3%) and in the Chippewa Indians (6.8%). In contrast, low occurrences have been reported in populations from China and Japan. These data support a genetic role in disease risk. Studies have so far shown that the familial re...
