For many centuries, it was believed that "rheumatisms" had an intestinal origin. The very important frequency of rheumatic diseases, and the equally very important frequency of parasitic diseases, explain that the random association of both conditions is very frequent; and numerous authors, in the past, concluded (without sufficient proof), to the parasitic origin of some rheumatic diseases. Later many authors denied any relation between parasitic and rheumatic diseases, after a critical study of papers published about the so-called "parasitic rheumatism".
几个世纪以来，人们一直认为“风湿病”起源于肠道。风湿性疾病的高发病率以及寄生虫病同样高的发病率，说明这两种疾病随机同时出现的情况非常常见；过去，许多作者（在没有充分证据的情况下）得出结论，认为某些风湿性疾病起源于寄生虫。后来，在对有关所谓“寄生虫性风湿病”发表的论文进行批判性研究之后，许多作者否认寄生虫病与风湿性疾病之间存在任何关联。
