[Comparative characteristics of joint changes in rats infected with Mycoplasma fermentans and Mycoplasma arthritidis].

Experiments on Wistar rats have shown that a single injection of M. fermentans or M. arthritidis causes various forms of polyarthritis differing in their course and morphological characteristics. M. arthritidis causes acute purulent arthritis. M. fermentans causes polyarthritis characterized mainly by a subacute course and early involvement of the articular cartilage. Plasma cells producing a factor similar to the rheumatoid factor of humans have been detected in the synovial membrane.
