title: CPPD complicating other forms of inflammatory arthritis.
abstract: Calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) disease is confirmed as equally common in rheumatoid arthritis by synovial fluid and macroscopic skeletal examination. Furthermore, differential frequencies in rheumatoid arthritis and spondyloarthropathy provide additional insights to the "lumper-splitter" question.
