Polyserositis

Polyserositis: description, symptoms and treatment

Polyserositis is a disease characterized by inflammation of the serous membranes lining the chest and abdominal cavities, as well as the synovial membranes of the joints. It is usually accompanied by the accumulation of fluid inside these cavities. Most often, this disease is hereditary and intermittent; otherwise it is called familial Mediterranean fever.

Polyserositis is a rare disease that can occur in both children and adults. Its main symptoms are:

1. pain in the abdomen, chest or joints;
2. increased body temperature;
3. heart rhythm disturbance;
4. dyspnea;
5. dry mouth.

In case of complications of polyserositis by infiltration of glycoprotein into most organs (see Amyloidosis), the disease most often ends in the death of the patient. Therefore, it is important to seek medical help at the first symptoms of the disease.

To diagnose polyserositis, doctors may do laboratory tests such as blood and urine tests, as well as X-rays and ultrasound examinations. More detailed testing may be necessary to rule out other diseases with similar symptoms.

In 95% of patients, regular use of colchicine helps prevent new attacks of the disease. Colchicine is a medicine that reduces inflammation in the body. If colchicine has no effect, doctors may prescribe drugs that reduce the activity of the immune system.

In conclusion, polyserositis is a rare hereditary disease that is characterized by inflammation of the serous membranes of the body. At the first symptoms of the disease, it is necessary to seek medical help, since timely treatment can prevent serious complications.

Polyserositis: symptoms, causes and treatment

Polyserositis is a disease characterized by inflammation of the serous membranes lining the chest and abdominal cavities, as well as the synovial membranes of the joints. This is usually accompanied by an accumulation of fluid inside these cavities. Although polyserositis can be caused by various reasons, it is most often hereditary and intermittent. This disease is otherwise called familial Mediterranean fever.

Symptoms of polyserositis may vary depending on which serous membranes are inflamed. Common signs include chest or abdominal pain, difficulty breathing, fever and fatigue. When the synovial membranes of the joints become inflamed, swelling, pain, and limited movement may occur.

The causes of polyserositis can be varied, but most often it is due to heredity. Other factors that may contribute to the development of polyserositis include infections, autoimmune diseases and trauma.

Treatment of polyserositis is aimed at reducing inflammation and reducing the accumulation of fluid within the serous membranes and synovial membranes. In 95% of patients, regular use of colchicine can help prevent new attacks of the disease. Colchicine is a medicine that is used to treat inflammatory joint diseases such as gout. In case of complications of polyserositis by infiltration of glycoprotein into most organs (see Amyloidosis), the disease most often ends in the death of the patient.

However, in addition to the use of drugs, there are other methods of treating polyserositis. For example, patients may be prescribed physical therapy to help reduce pain and inflammation. In some cases, surgery may be required to remove fluid accumulation within the serosa.

In conclusion, polyserositis is a serious disease that can lead to complications and even death if not treated promptly. Therefore, it is important to consult a doctor if any symptoms associated with inflammation of the serous membranes or synovial membranes of the joints appear. Regular use of colchicine can help prevent further attacks of the disease, as well as follow your doctor's recommendations for treatment and health monitoring.

Polyserositis is an inflammation of the serous membrane that affects the chest and abdominal cavity. It can also spread to the synovium of the joints. This is a hereditary disease that most often has an intermittent nature. In some patients, the disease progresses and leads to death.

Most people with polyserosis receive treatment, including colchicine. Colchicine is a drug that reduces the frequency of attacks of the disease and serves as a prophylactic agent. It is also used to treat amyloidosis, a disease associated with elevated levels of glycoproteins in most organs.

In addition, polyserositis may be accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue, fever, headache and joint pain. Depending on the severity of the disease, treatment may include antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. However, if polyserositis develops quickly or other concomitant diseases are present, you should consult a doctor.
