It is well known that rheumatoid arthritis improves in the majority of patients during pregnancy and that aggravation of disease symptoms occurs within the first 6 months postpartum. We report a female patient who had 4 postpartum episodes of transient polyarthritis typical of rheumatoid arthritis with positive serum rheumatoid factor and anti-CCP antibodies. All bouts resolved within 4 to 10 weeks after onset without any symptoms in between the episodes.
众所周知，大多数类风湿关节炎患者在孕期病情会改善，且疾病症状会在产后6个月内加重。我们报告了一位女性患者，她产后出现了4次类风湿关节炎典型的短暂性多关节炎发作，血清类风湿因子和抗环瓜氨酸肽抗体呈阳性。所有发作在起病后4至10周内缓解，发作期间无任何症状。
