Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition disease can mimic a large number of joint diseases. We report on three patients with predominantly systemic symptoms. Diagnostic pitfalls and treatment delays in these patients are discussed. Once the diagnosis is considered, confirmation is readily obtained by examination of the joint fluid and treatment promptly relieves symptoms.
