Arthritis Disease
What type of disease is Rheumatoid Arthritis?
I know it’s chronic, but I have to choose: genetic, nutritional, bacterial, viral, fungal, or teratogenic.
Thanks 
None of the above. It is more correctly described as an autoimmune disorder. However, it is not so simple.
There is a genetic component to it, but this is not the only cause. There is a nutritional component to treatment [as there is with everything] as well. It is not bacterial or viral, though there is a theory that says that some type of bacteria or virus may trigger the immune response that causes the body to turn agaisnt itself.
