Hyperlipidemia with polyarthritis: A case report
Keywords:
Hyperlipidemia, polyarthritis, acute polyarthritisAbstract
Hyperlipidemia can give rise to acute polyarthritis and the disease is more often confused with reactive arthritis or other causes of polyarthritis. We report here a case of secondary hyperlipidemia with clinical presentations of acute polyarthritis.
