Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease which causes inflammation and damage to the joints and other tissues. Septic arthritis is caused by an infection and affects a single joint, while degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis) is caused by wear and tear on the joints over time. Ankylosing spondylitis is another chronic inflammatory disease, but it primarily affects the spine and sacroiliac joints.
