Best Answer

Rheumatism is rheumatoid arthritis and is an immunological disease affecting the bones/joints and is not an infectious disease. It can be genetically passed down through families. It is an extremely painful and debilitating disease with no cure. There are very expensive drugs to help alleviate symptoms. There are no drugs to prevent the disease and no vaccines for this immunological disease. There are some people who believe environmental chemicals or other things cause the disease but that has not been proven.
