Your body is held together by tissues that connect all of the structures in your body. When you have a connective tissue disease, these connecting structures are negatively affected. Connective tissue diseases include autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma and lupus.

Diseases like osteoporosis, rickets, osteomalacia, osteogenesis imperfecta

Rheumatic diseases are autoimmune and inflammatory diseases that cause your immune system to attack your joints, muscles, bones and organs.

Soft tissue rheumatism includes disorders of tendons and their sheaths, ligaments, bursae, joint capsules, muscles, fasciae and others. Inflammatory signs or systemic manifestations may be lacking in these disorders. Fibrositis, bursitis, tenosynovitis, myositis are some of the common types of soft tissue rheumatism.

Inflammatory arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease in which your immune system misidentifies your own body tissues as harmful germs or pathogens and attacks them. The result is inflammation of the affected tissues in and around joints.
