title: [Jaccoud's postrheumatic arthritis. A clinical case report].
abstract: The authors describe a case of Jaccoud's arthropathy, a very rare disease of unknown pathogenesis, that can develop in patients after repeated attacks of rheumatic fever. Clinical pictures with analogous features can be found associated with many other pathological processes, such as connective tissue diseases or cancers. The case presented here is interesting for the diagnostic and therapeutic mistakes made, probably because it is an illness very little known and with ambiguous clinical features.
