AB  - Many  diseases  can  cause  arthritis.  Obtaining  a  history  and  performing  a  physical  examination  are  the  first  steps  in  allowing  the  clinician  to  accurately  characterize  the  arthritis  and  approach  the  differential  diagnosis  in  a  focused,  logical  fashion  based  on  the  duration  of  symptoms,  the  presence  or  absence  of  joint  inflammation,  the  number  of  joints  affected,  and  the  pattern  of  joint  involvement  (Table  4–1).
