Ocular inflammation in Reiter's syndrome associated with Campylobacter jejuni enteritis

An 18-year-old woman developed acute polyarthritis one week and bilateral, acute, mucopurulent conjunctivitis and sterile pyuria two weeks after onset of Campylobacter jejuni enteritis. The conjunctivitis resolved spontaneously in one week and the arthritis in two months. The patient had HLA-B27 antigen. Campylobacter organisms may lead to Reiter's syndrome in a patient with HLA-B27 antigen.
