In many countries and in our country reactive arthritis (RA) is a topical rheumatologic problem requiring early and individual therapy. Recently in the diagnostics of RA there is an active search of early biomarkers (BM) of articulate structures damage, which provide revealing of the symptoms of lesion of articulate soft tissues elements at the early stages of the disease. It can also help to assess the stage of lesion and prognosis of the disease. Later it will assist to prescribe adequate therapy according to the stage of the pathological process and perform monitoring of the therapy [1].
Reactive arthritis is an inflammatory lesion of the joints that occurs as a reaction to the invasion of the body by any infectious agents. The high social significance of nosologies dictates the need to search for reliable cartilage biomarkers that have diagnostic value not only in recognizing degenerative changes at an early stage of joint deseases, but also in monitoring the effectiveness of treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
