Arthropathies
(M00-M25)
Disorders affecting predominantly peripheral (limb) joints
Infectious arthropathies
(M00-M03)
Note:
This block comprises arthropathies due to microbiological agents.
Distinction is made between the following types of etiological relationship:
a. direct infection of joint, where organisms invade synovial tissue and
microbial antigen is present in the joint;
b. indirect infection, which may be of two types: a reactive arthropathy ,
where microbial infection of the body is established but neither
organisms nor antigens can be identified in the joint, and a postinfective
arthropathy , where microbial antigen is present but recovery of an
organism is inconstant and evidence of local multiplication is lacking.
