as fever, weight loss, and malaise. Joint The second most common clinical finding of this disease is joint pain with or without arthritis, after chondritis. All synovial joints may be affected. At presentation, around 33% of people have joint symptoms that involve Polyarthralgia and/or polyarthritis or oligoarthritis that affects various parts of the body and often appears to be episodic, asymmetric, migratory and non-deforming. The most common sites of involvement are the metacarpophalangeal joints, proximal interphalangeal joints and knees. After which is followed by the ankles, wrists, metatarsophalangeal joints and the elbows. Any involvement of the axial skeleton is considered to be very rare. Tests for rheumatoid factor are negative in affected persons with RP, unless there is a co-morbidity with RA. Less often it has been reported that persons may experience arthralgia, monoarthritis, or chronic polyarthritis that mimics rheumatoid arthritis, leading to a difficult diagnosis for this disease. The appearance of erosions and destruction, however, is exceedingly rare and this may point instead to rheumatoid arthritis as a cause. Diseases and inflammation of tendons have been reported in small numbers of people with RP. During the course of the disease, around 80% of people develop joint symptoms. Eye Involvement of the eye is rarely the initial symptom but develops in 60% of persons with RP. The most common forms of ocular involvement are usually mild and often consist of unilateral or bilateral episcleritis and/or scleritis, that is often anterior and could be lingering or relapsing. Scleritis that is necrotizing is found to be exceedingly rare. Less often, conjunctivitis occurs. There are also other ocular manifestations that occur in persons with RP, these include keratoconjunctivitis sicca, peripheral keratitis (rarely with ulcerations), anterior uveitis, retinal vasculitis, proptosis, lid edema, keratoconus, retinopathy, iridocyclitis and ischemic optic neuritis that can lead to blindness. Cataract also is reported in relation to either the disease or to glucocorticoid exposure. Neurological The involvement of the peripheral or central nervous system is relatively rare and only occurs in 3% of persons affected with RP, and is sometimes seen in a relation with concomitant vasculitis. The most common neurological manifestation are palsies of the cranial nerves V and VII. Also hemiplegia, ataxia, myelitis and polyneuropathy have been reported in scientific literature. Very rare neurological manifestations include aseptic meningitis, meningoencephalitis, stroke, focal or generalized seizures and intracranial aneurysm.
