Question

Which of the following is caused due to infection in joints?

• A. Rheumatic arthritis
• B. Dislocation
• C. Sprains
• D. Rickets

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Rheumatic arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory disease of the joints. It's a condition, in which the immune system mistakes the linings of the joints as "foreign substance" and attacks and damages them, resulting in inflammation and pain. It also causes infection in joints and damage to cartilage. A sprain is caused due to stretching and breaking of ligaments, dislocation is displacement of bones in joints. Rickets is caused due to malnutrition that results in weak bones and bowed legs.
