DISEASES WITH ARTICULAR SYNDROME

Abstract

Articular syndrome is a clinical symptom complex expressed by pain in the joints, morning stiffness, deformation and deformation of the joints, limitation of their mobility, pathological changes in the tissues surrounding the joint. The most important components of diagnosing the disease underlying the patient’s articular syndrome are a correctly collected anamnesis, a medical examination, and a set of laboratory tests and radiological imaging methods. The purpose of this article is to help the doctor in the early diagnosis of the joint disease underlying the patient’s syndrome. The article discusses the main components of such a syndrome, characteristic symptoms and key manifestations of common rheumatic diseases (RD), which are based on articular syndrome, and presents modern approaches to its diagnosis. Timely assessment of articular syndrome contributes to the correct formation of a program of laboratory and instrumental research methods for patients, allows one to suspect RD at an earlier stage of its development and refer patients for consultation with a rheumatologist. Early prescription of basic therapy by a rheumatologist for patients with articular syndrome will improve the quality of life and prognosis of RD in these patients
