J M Gumpel, C Martin, P J Sanderson

    Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases
    |February 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Campylobacter enteritis can trigger reactive arthritis in adults. A study found acute arthritis in 8 of 33 hospitalized patients with this infection, highlighting a significant link.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Rheumatology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Campylobacter enteritis is a recognized cause of reactive arthritis.
    • Investigating the incidence of arthritis following Campylobacter infection is crucial for understanding post-infectious sequelae.

    Observation:

    • A survey was conducted among patients in the Harrow Health District with confirmed campylobacter enteritis.
    • The study focused on identifying arthritic manifestations in these patients.

    Findings:

    • 8 out of 33 adult patients admitted with enteritis developed acute arthritis.
    • No cases of arthritis were observed in patients under 16 years old.
    • Arthritis was not identified in patients diagnosed with enteritis within the community setting.

    Implications:

    • This study reinforces the association between Campylobacter enteritis and reactive arthritis in adults.
    • The findings suggest that hospitalized adult patients with Campylobacter enteritis are at higher risk for developing reactive arthritis.
    • Further research may elucidate specific risk factors and mechanisms linking this infection to joint inflammation.
