title: Noninfectious canine arthritis: the inflammatory, nonerosive arthritides.
abstract: Noninfectious, nonerosive arthritis was seen as an important manifestation of a number of chronic systemic diseases of the dog. Sixty-three dogs with this type of arthritis were seen at the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital during an 18-month period between 1973 and 1975. Of these dogs, 29 had systemic lupus erythematosus, 15 had arthritis in association with some chronic infectious disease process, and 19 had a similar type of arthritis, but without serologic evidence of systemic lupus erythematosus or any chronic infectious disease process.
