Garibaldi's rheumatism.

Giuseppe Garibaldi, the charismatic 19th-century Italian revolutionary leader, had complaints of recurrent and often persistent rheumatic pain starting in his early 40s. Symptoms continued until his death at 74, with progressive disability. His diagnosis is uncertain, but rheumatoid arthritis is most likely. Garibaldi coped successfully with his rheumatic illness during most of his military and political career, but eventually became bedridden and dependent.

Sarah's Knee: A Famous Actress With Chronic, Inflammatory Monoarthritis.

Sarah Bernhardt had a recurrent and later persistent inflammatory arthritis of her right knee for more than 25 years. She probably had pulmonary tuberculosis, starting a dozen years before the arthritis, and her chronic synovitis may have been tuberculous. Several months in a cast led to deterioration and later amputation of the leg, an outcome that might have been prevented by surgical arthrodesis. Despite the loss of her limb and progressive renal failure, she continued an active theatrical career until her death at age 78.
