The diagnosis may be challenging in some cases, especially when these syndromes co-exist.
Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (or sometimes RS 3 PE) is a rare syndrome identified by symmetric polyarthritis, synovitis, acute pitting edema (swelling) of the back of the hands and/or feet, and a negative serum rheumatoid factor. [2]
Athlete's foot is the most common fungal disease, with possibly more than 50% of the population affected at some time.

A typical corneal opacity of the patient with keratoendotheliitis fugax hereditaria. Older patients may show faint to definite central, horizontally oval, bilateral stromal opacities.
