Inflammatory arthritis (IA) is joint inflammation caused by an overactive immune system. It usually affects many joints throughout the body at the same time, but could involve just one joint. Inflammatory forms of arthritis are much less common than osteoarthritis (OA), which is the most common type of arthritis. Although there are many exceptions, inflammatory arthritis generally starts earlier in life, and osteoarthritis later in life.
