Abstract

We have reported a 24 years old woman presenting with recurrent episodes of joint pain, weakness and fever for last one and half year. Each episode persists for 3/4 days and intervals between episodes are variable. Laboratory investigations showed positive RF and anti-CCP. Each episode remits spontaneously with some NSAIDs. The case high lights the need of accepting Palindromic presentation of early Rheumatoid arthritis and it is not very rare as we think.
