The menopause coincides with the appearance of many of the common arthritic conditions and with the lessening of severity of others such as SLE. The hormonal changes that occur may modulate these diseases. Thus, hormonal manipulation may have either beneficial or detrimental effects on the incidence and activity of a number of common joint diseases. We review the evidence regarding the effect of the menopause and oestrogen replacement therapy on the pathogenesis, incidence and prevalence and disease activity of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and carpal tunnel syndrome.

BACKGROUND: Palindromic rheumatism is an inflammatory rheumatic disease characterised by recurrent attacks of arthritis confined to one or more peripheral joints. Each episode of arthritis rarely lasts more than 14 days, and subsides without leaving any residues. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Three patients with palindromic arthritis are presented, and the literature reviewed. RESULTS: The clinical and laboratory characteristics of the three patients were similar to those generally described for palindromic rheumatism. Two patients developed seropositive rheumatoid arthritis and one patient developed chronic seronegative polyarthritis. INTERPRETATION: Palindromic rheumatism may evolve into chronic polyarthritis.
