The 54 pages that link to Rheumatoid arthritis, each with the reason it gives.

• OsteoarthritisCompared with: Unlike typical osteoarthritis, it is a systemic inflammatory disease that often affects joints symmetrically.

• GoutCompared with: Its usual persistent, symmetric pattern differs from gout’s often sudden, episodic attacks.

• PsoriasisCompared with: It can resemble psoriatic arthritis but usually lacks psoriasis-related features.

• Systemic lupus erythematosusCompared with: Joint pain occurs in both diseases, but SLE more characteristically combines arthritis with multisystem manifestations.

• FibromyalgiaCompared with: Unlike fibromyalgia, it produces objective inflammatory joint findings and can damage joints.

• Psoriatic arthritisCompared with: Its typically symmetric small-joint pattern contrasts with the varied patterns of psoriatic arthritis.

• Reactive arthritisCompared with: Its persistent, often symmetric pattern differs from arthritis following a discrete infection.

• Polymyalgia rheumaticaCompared with: It can mimic polymyalgia rheumatica, but small-joint swelling and persistent synovitis suggest rheumatoid arthritis.

• Ankylosing spondylitisCompared with: Its usual joint distribution differs from the predominantly axial pattern here.

• Systemic sclerosisCompared with: Joint inflammation dominates rheumatoid arthritis, whereas vascular injury and fibrosis define systemic sclerosis.

• Adult-onset Still's diseaseCompared with: Both diseases can cause inflammatory arthritis, but Still's disease is distinguished by recurring fever and rash.

• Heberden's nodeCompared with: Its inflammatory finger-joint patterns differ from the bony distal enlargements typical of Heberden's nodes.
