AB  - Palindromic  rheumatism  is  a  disease  of  unknown  cause  characterized  by  frequent  recurring  attacks  (at  irregular  intervals)  of  acutely  inflamed  joints.  Periarticular  pain  with  swelling  and  transient  subcutaneous  nodules  may  also  occur.  The  attacks  cease  within  several  hours  to  several  days.  The  knee  and  finger  joints  are  most  commonly  affected,  but  any  peripheral  joint  may  be  involved.  Although  hundreds  of  attacks  may  take  place  over  a  period  of  years,  there  is  no  permanent  articular  damage.  Laboratory  findings  are  usually  normal.  Palindromic  rheumatism  must  be  distinguished  from  acute  gouty  arthritis  and  an  atypical  acute  onset  of  rheumatoid  arthritis.  In  some  patients,  palindromic  rheumatism  is  a  prodrome  of  rheumatoid  arthritis.
