Most people will grow out of Juvenile onset rheumatoid arthritis. It is brought about by a - temporary - infection, the patient being able to resume a normal life once the infection is resolved.
Adult onset rheumatoid arthritis is quite different as it usually develops during the late teens or early twenties and rapidly settles into a chronic, debilitating infection.
There are a few hundred types of arthritis and rheumatic diseases. The good news is that science is progressing rapidly in its understanding of rheumatic diseases.
Antibiotics are now used to achieve full remissions for at least 40%, if not 65% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. For more info, please join our group at:
