Hyperlipidemia with polyarthritis: A case report
Abstract
Hyperlipidemia can give rise to acute polyarthritis and the disease is more often confused with reactive arthritis or other causes of polyarthritis. We report here a case of secondary hypercholesterolemia with clinical presentations of acute polyarthritis.
