Slide 1 : Viral arthritis
Slide 2 : Overview Viral arthritis is swelling and irritation (inflammation) of the joints from a viral infection.
Slide 3 : Causes Arthritis may be a symptom of many virus-related illnesses. It usually disappears on its own without any lasting effects. It may occur with: Enterovirus Dengue virus Hepatitis B Hepatitis C Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Human parvovirus Mumps Rubella
Slide 4 : Causes It may also occur after immunization with the rubella vaccine. This is a common form of childhood joint discomfort. While many people are infected with these viruses or receive the rubella vaccine, only a few people develop arthritis. No risk factors have been established.
Slide 5 : Symptoms The main symptoms are joint pain and swelling of one or more joints.
Slide 6 : Tests & diagnosis A physical examination shows joint inflammation. A blood test (serology) for viruses may be performed. In some cases, a small amount of fluid may be removed from the affected joint to determine the cause of the inflammation.
Slide 7 : Treatment Your doctor may prescribe pain medicines to relieve discomfort. You doctor may also prescribe antiviral or anti-inflammatory medications. If joint inflammation is severe, aspiration of fluid from the affected joint may relieve pain.
Slide 8 : Prognosis The outcome is usually good. Most viral arthritis disappears within several days or weeks when the virus-related disease goes away.
Slide 9 : When to contact a doctor Call for an appointment with your health care provider if arthritis symptoms last longer than a few weeks.
