Question

Which of the following is seen in seropositive rheumatoid arthritis?

• A. Multiple joints affected
• B. Symmetrical joint symptoms
• C. Joint pain and swelling
• D. All

Hint:

Seropositive RA is a symmetric polyarthritis with painful swollen joints - all options apply.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Seropositive RA is defined by a positive rheumatoid factor in the serum and behaves as a chronic, erosive, symmetric inflammatory arthritis. Check whether each listed feature belongs to this picture.
Step 2: RA is a POLYarthritis - many joints, especially small joints of hands and feet, are simultaneously involved (matches option a).
Step 3: The pattern is bilaterally SYMMETRIC, distinguishing it from asymmetric spondyloarthropathies (matches option b).
Step 4: Active synovitis gives painful, swollen joints with morning stiffness and, over time, deformity and rheumatoid nodules (matches option c).
Step 5: All three statements are true, so the inclusive option is the answer.
\[\boxed{\text{All}}\]
