Rheumatic Diseases and Mouth Infection
نویسنده
چکیده
The problem of focal infection in relation to rheumatic diseases has received too little critical consideration. The subject must be approached first from the standpoint of the nature of systemic diseases. In other words we have got to know what rheumatism and arthritis are. The term ' rheumatic diseases ' embraces a big group of various illnesses which have their chief characteristic pain in and around joints. ' Rheumatism' is* not a disease but a generic term for many illnesses. These illnesses can be divided into two main divisions : (1) articular and (2) non-articular. In this paper I will discuss only rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis which occur with about equal frequency, but they differ greatly in setiologic, clinical, pathological and therapeutic considerations.
