Seronegative rheumatoid arthritis patients are those patients who have been diagnosed as having rheumatoid arthritis but remain rheumatoid factor negative on their blood test. Overall these patients have a better prognosis and a better survival rate than test positive RA patients. They experience fewer joint problems, but erosive disease may still be present nevertheless. However, seronegative rheumatoid arthritis is one of those diagnoses doctors make when they have no idea what’s really happening. One should always look out for other possible diagnoses such as systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriatic arthritis, and for the presence of microcrystalline deposits such as those seen in gout or pseudogout.
