Is rheumatoid arthritis a disorder that is caused by insufficient immunological response to pathogens?

No Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that results in the immune system mistakenly attacking (among other tissues of the body) cartilage in the synovial joints. This leads to further destructive chemicals being created which in turn destroys further tissue in an around the joints. there is Arthritis that has a connection with infection and RA may have some reaction there however RA is not seen as being the result of any pathogen.

What are the 4 barriers that keep humans healthy against pathogens?
Four barriers that protect humans from pathogens include the mucus of the upper respiratory system, the acid mantle of the skin, the stomach acid in the digestive system, and the cervical mucus of the female reproductive system. There are also celular barriers via the immune system that prevent infection.

What pathogens can cause arthritis?
There are two different types of Arthritis. Rheumatoid and Osteoarthritis. Neither are cause by bacteria. Osteoarthritis is caused by the physical breakdown of the layers of cartilage that protect the joints. Rheumatoid is cause by an immune system that attacks the cartilage and "cilia"(little tiny hair like structures) that act as lubricant in the joints. Osteoarthritis is treatable and usually does not become crippling. Rheumatoid Arthritis is a degenerative , progressive disease that can be treated to slow down it's progress and give pain relief to the patient, but cannot be cured and in most cases becomes a crippling disease.
Why is multiple sclerosis an insufficient immunological response to pathogens?
It isn't; it is your immune system working properly. The problem is your immune system is firing against a toxin that is lodged in your own body's tissues. When the toxin (now called an antigen) cannot die, your immune system becomes Th1 or Th2 dominant.

What is immunologic memory produced by vaccination?
Immunological memory is the ability of immune system to respond more rapidly and more effectively to pathogens that have been encountered previously and reflects the preexistence of a clonally expanded population of antigen specific lymphocytes.
How Does Having a Fever Speed up the Healing Process?
As fever is abnormally high body temperature, pathogens with strict temperature preferences may be hindered. Fever also speeds up immunological reactions as it enhances leukocyte phagocytosis, decreases the effects of the pathogens' endotoxins, and increases the proliferation of T cells. In addition, fever causes the liver and spleen to take up iron and zinc that are needed by the pathogens and it increases metabolic rate to speed up tissue repair.
