Historical view: Archaeologists record that prehistoric man was often racked with arthritis and lamed by injuries. In Ancient Egypt, many skeletons had evidence of rheumatoid arthritis (S A Ruffer, J of Path and Bacteriol, Vol 22, 1919). Aretaeus (81-circa-138 AD) described a polyarthritis which could have been a polyarticular gout. Soranus of Ephesus (98-138 AD) in his treatise ?On Chronic Disease described a polyarthritis affected middle-aged men. (Buchanan W and Walter Kean, Inflammopharmacology, Vol 9, N01,2, 2001). In 1715 William Musgrave published the book ''De arthritide symptomatica''. The term Rheumatoid Arthritis coined by physician, Sir Alfred Garrod in 1859.
