Persistent arthritis/arthralgias commonly develop after symptomatic infection - are the most common long-term complication (Chow et al., 2011 [1]; Powers, 2010 [4]; Sissoko et al., 2010 [5]; Staples et al., 2009 [6]). The small joints are most often affected in a symmetric pattern that can mimic adult rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (Mizuno et al., 2011 [3]; Bouquillard - Combe, 2009 [7]; Chabbra et al., 2008 [8]; Jaffar-B-jee et al., 2009 [9]; Simon et al., 2007 [10]).
