This study identified infectious triggers in most reactive arthritis cases, with Yersinia enterocolitica being the most common cause. These findings aid in understanding reactive arthritis etiology and prognosis.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology

Context:

  • Prospective study of reactive arthritis cases at Bellvitge Hospital.
  • Data collected over a 30-month period (August 1985 - February 1988).

Purpose:

  • To describe the clinical features of reactive arthritis.
  • To identify etiological factors.
  • To determine the prognosis of reactive arthritis.

Summary:

  • Thirty patients diagnosed with reactive arthritis were included.
  • A microorganism was identified in 21 patients.
  • Commonly identified pathogens included Yersinia enterocolitica (14 cases), Chlamydia trachomatis (4 cases), Salmonella enteritidis (2 cases), and Streptococcus group A (1 case).
  • The average disease duration was 7.6 months.
