Although perhaps other diseases should also be included, rheumatic fever, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus erythematosus disseminatus, polyarteritis nodosa, diffuse scleroderma and dermatomyositis are currently recognized as members of this group.In the voluminous literature on various aspects of the collagen diseases, scant attention has been paid to the rheumatic manifestations of diseases in this group other than rheumatic fever and rheumatoid arthritis. The purpose of this report is to review the pertinent...Bibliography1. KlempererPollackBaehr PADG: Diffuse collagen disease, J. A. M. A. 119: 331, 1942. CrossrefGoogle Scholar2.

Y.†Note: The term "pararheumatic" was introduced by Teilum (Acta med. Scandinav. 123: 126, 1946), who classified lupus erythematosus disseminatus, polyarteritis nodosa and "arteriolitis granulomatosa (allergica)" as "pararheumatic" diseases. By use of this terminology he implied a pathogenetic relationship between them and the "rheumatic" disease, rheumatic fever. He regarded the latter as an etiologically and clinically specific lesion. The "pararheumatic" diseases were considered to be of allergic origin but similar pathogenetically to rheumatic fever.Although we have resurrected the terms "rheumatic" and "pararheumatic," we have employed them in a somewhat different sense. The term "rheumatic" applies to the two common "rheumatic" diseases, rheumatic fever and rheumatoid arthritis, rather than to the former alone; "pararheumatic" applies to the other diffuse collagen diseases. In the use of this terminology, we imply that although these two groups of diseases share morphologic alterations of the connective tissue, there are important clinical differences from the standpoint of diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. There are no other implications. PreviousarticleNextarticle Advertisement FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Metrics Cited byV.
