Abstract
SummaryAcute arthritis is a prevalent disease in outpatient clinics and emergency rooms. In the elderly, the symptoms/signs are different from those experienced by young patients. Therefore, the diagnosis and treatment of acute arthritis in the elderly are distinct. Here, we start by examining a case of acute arthritis and then review the literature to learn the principles of managing acute arthritis in the elderly.
