Infectious arthritis is a disease in which inflammation or swelling of the synovium occurs . It is a thin layer that envelops and protects the inside of the fibrous joint capsule.
To carry out these functions it produces a special substance, synovial fluid. This compound serves as a lubricant in the joints and is capable of reducing the injuries that occur in a trauma to them.
Likewise, we can distinguish two types of arthritis based on their development period. On the one hand, we are talking about chronic arthritis, if after treating the causes of the disease, the arthritis does not remit. Also, the patient has the problem for the rest of his life. If after the selected therapy the disorder disappears, we speak of acute arthritis.
It usually affects or appears symmetrically, that is, it occurs in the same joint on each side of the body. On the other hand, the joint condition can wear down other surrounding internal structures (bones, cartilage, etc.).
