It has long been theorised that in some cases people with dental infections are more likely to get RA flares. In my particular case I have found that in any area where I may have an infection of some kind say from a splinter or something that in that area I am often more prone to suffer from joint inflammation.

What infections cause RA?

Ra is not caused by infections RA is an Autoimmune disease that is the result of some problem in the setup of the immune system resulting in the body rejecting its own tissue. Infectious arthritis or septic arthritis is caused by an infection in the fluid and or other tissues of a joint. These are usually caused by bacteria, and at other times viruses or fungi.

Can an rheumatoid arthritis flare up cause body piercing infections?

I have had RA or a long time and in that time i have noticed that RA flareups can coincide with infections of one sort or another. However I think you have it the wrong way around. You see Rheumatoid arthritis is a immune disorder and does not create the bacteria that you need to get an infection like those that can occur with body piercings or any other damage to the body like cuts scratches splinters etc. However again if you do get an infection that activates the immune system and that in turn may have an effect on joints if you lean towards RA.
