Arthritic diagnosis dif

To many Canadians,
diagnosis, not treatment, is
the easy part of the
physicians’s job. When it
comes to. arthritis, it’s
sometimes the hardest.

“Totally different diseases
can have the same symp-
toms,” syas Dr. Hugh
Smythe, Director of the
rheumatic Disease Unit at
the Wellesley Hospital in
Toronto. “And when you're
dealing with arthritis which
can show up in more than
100 different forms, you can
run into some. real
problems.”

Dr. Smyth, son of the late
Conn Smythe and one of
Canada’s leading specialists
in the treatment. of
rheumatic diseases, points
out that two forms of ar-
thritis, Systemic Lupus
Erythematosus and Juvenile
Rheumatoid Arthritis

(“‘Lupus” and “JRA”), are
excellent examples of dif-

ficult-to-diagnose disease
conditions.
“Lupus,” he says, “can

affect the entire body. in-
cluding joints, skin, blood
and internal organs. Its
symptoms can. include
weight loss, rashes, fever,
fatigue, heart problems,
anemia, kidney malfunction,
jaundice and swollen glands

occur with other diseases.
Lupus has no_ single

Scleroderma, another
disease in the arthritis
family, also has symtoms
which can be similar to those
of Lupus. Often, in the early
stages of diagnosis, the two
are confused.

“Since many forms of
arthritis are systemic -- that
is, they affect the entre body
-- they can present a
bewildering array of symp-
toms,” says Dr. Smyth. “The
medical team may need to
