Abstract
Conclusions. - Prevalence of asymmetry in joint damage in RA was 13 to 16%. Symmetry was more evident in PIP joints than in MCP and wrist joints. Seropositive patients are more than twice as likely to symmetrize than seronegative patients. Data regarding the tendency for symmetrization may have value in the clinical management of RA patients with asymmetrical joint damage.
