Resumen
SALDARRIAGA RIVERA, Lina María y DELGADO QUIROZ, Luis Alberto. Rheumatoid arthritis associated with aplastic anemia in a young patient. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2013, vol.20, n.2, pp.111-115. ISSN 0121-8123.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic, and inflammatory disease of unknown etiology that mainly affects the synovial membrane of the joints. It is characterized by chronic pain and joint destruction, which leads to premature mortality and risk of disability, with high costs to the patient and society. The case is presented of a young male patient with aplastic anemia since 8 years old who, in 2009, began with swelling and joint pain in the hands, wrists and ankles, fulfilling criteria for rheumatoid arthritis.
