Abstract:
Reactive arthritis (ReA) is an inflammatory arthritis that arises after certain gastrointestinal or genitourinary infections, representing a classic interplay between host and environment. It belongs to the group of arthritidies known as the spondyloarthropathies. The classic syndrome is a triad of symptoms, including the urethra, conjunctiva, and synovium; however, the majority of patients do not present with this triad. Diagnostic criteria for ReA exist, but data suggest new criteria are needed. Epidemiologic and prospective studies have been difficult to perform because of over-reliance on the complete classic triad of symptoms and the different terms and eponyms used. Studies assessing various treatment strategies are ongoing.
