Biological and test markers
13This visual map uses existing EH database links to show biological agents and lab markers reported as increased, decreased, or associated with this condition. These are educational relationships only; test results must be interpreted by a qualified clinician because ranges vary by lab, method, age, sex and clinical context.

Chronic Infectious Arthritis
Alternative Treatment Efficacy According to GRADE* Ranking:
Ayurvedic Medicine (Ayurveda):
Recomendation: no recommendation (there is insufficient evidence that suggests that Ayurvedic Medicine may help manage chronic infectious Arthritis)
Grade of Evidence: very low quality of evidence
