Assessment of seronegative arthritis

Résumé

Seronegative arthritis describes a group of conditions that present with inflammatory arthritis but without a positive rheumatoid factor, hence seronegative.

A detailed history and a thorough physical examination should enable the diagnosis to be elucidated in most patients. Supporting or confirmatory data are obtained from laboratory and imaging studies.

Spondyloarthropathies, crystalline and viral arthropathies, and rheumatoid arthritis are the most common diagnoses in these patients. [1] [2]
