Information Basic Information chlamydia This disease is an asymmetric polyarthritis and typically follows a bout of urethritis cervicitis diarrhea or inflammatory eye disease, usually within several weeks. The lower extremities are most often affected such as the feet, ankles, and knees. Heel pain at the entryway of the Achilles tendon often occurs. Wrists and fingers may also be affected and slow the ability to perform daily tasks and routines. Lower back pain and joint stiffness may also interfere with routine activities. Eye inflammation which blurs vision is also associated with this disease. Thus the disease is often defined as a triad of: Symptoms Besides the above symptoms of which joint stiffness and lower back pain are usually the earliest, other symptoms may include: "sausage toe" bony outgrowths at the beginning of the tendons; swollen joints that are often painful (especially in the morning or after rest periods);

    Extractions: Reiter's syndrome is a chronic form of inflammatory arthritis wherein the following three conditions are combined: arthritis; inflammation of the eyes (conjunctivitis); and inflammation of the genital, urinary or gastrointestinal systems. Reiter's syndrome is also called "reactive arthritis." It is felt that it involves an immune system which is reacting to the presence of bacterial infections in the genital, urinary, or gastrointestinal systems. Reiter's syndrome most frequently occurs in patients in their thirties or forties, but it can occur at any age. The form of Reiter's syndrome which occurs after genital infection occurs more frequently in males. The form which develops after bowel infection occurs in equal frequency in males and females. Reiter's syndrome is considered a systemic rheumatic disease. This means it can affect other organs than the joints, such as the eyes, mouth, skin, kidneys, heart, and lungs. Reiter's syndrome shares many features with several other arthritic conditions, such as psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and arthritis associated with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Each of these arthritic conditions can cause similar disease and inflammation in the spine and other joints, eyes, skin, mouth, and various organs. In view of their similarities and tendency to inflame the spine, these conditions are collectively referred to as "spondyloarthropathies."

    Extractions: Reiter's Syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by arthritis, inflammation of the urinary tract (nongonococcal urethritis), inflammation of the mucous membranes that line the eyes ( conjunctivitis ), and inflammation of the front part of the eye (iritis, uveitis).). Painful and swollen joints occur because of an underlying infection (reactive arthritis). Sores (lesions) may also occur on the skin and the mucous membranes of the mouth. In many cases, Reiter's Syndrome is transmitted through sexual contact (venereal). However occasionally there is an underlying infection of the small bowel (enteric) which may contribute to the onset of Reiter's Syndrome. All the symptoms of the disease may not appear at once, and they may also disappear and then recur. The symptoms subside spontaneously within the first year in the majority of individuals.

    Extractions: Reiter's Syndrome is named after Dr. Hans Reiter, who described the main features of the disease in a German soldier who developed it after having dysentery during World War 1. Along with arthritis, or inflammation in one or more joints, Reiter's Syndrome usually includes at least one of the following problems: Reiter's Syndrome has been linked with certain kinds of infection and with a genetic (inherited) tendency to get the disease (having the HLA-B27 gene). In some people, the disease develops, stays for several months, and then goes away completely. Others have repeated episodes of Reiter's Syndrome for many years. Reiter's Syndrome mainly affects young men between the ages of 20 and 40, although women, children and older people also can get it. The disease is not often diagnosed in women because very often, the symptoms are not obvious.

    Extractions: Reiter's Syndrome , characterized by the triad of urethritis, conjunctivitis, and arthritis , is a seronegative spondyloarthropathy (autoimmune damage to the cartilages of joints) often precipitated by genitourinary or gastrointestinal infections. There is asymmetrical joint distribution occurring mostly in the feet. The syndrome may present with sacroiliitis. Persons with HLA-B27 are at increased risk for developing Reiter's Syndrome after sexual contact or exposure to certain enteric bacterial infections. The goal of treatment is to eradicate the infectious source, and symptomatic arthritis relief that is similar to rheumatoid arthritis, i.e. NSAIDs. Reiter's Syndrome was first described during World War I by German doctor Hans Reiter, who identified the "classic triad" of urethritis, arthritis and conjunctivitis after observing it in a soldier-patient.

    Extractions: Reiter's Syndrome The cause of Reiter’s Syndrome is unknown, however it often occurs after certain intestinal infections or secondary to a venereal disease. There is also strong evidence suggesting a genetic link. Symptoms usually begin with pain in the hips, knees and lower back, followed by fever, fatigue, decreased appetite, and then weight loss. The Achilles Tendon often become inflamed, making walking and standing very difficult. Treatment is fairly successful, however approximately one half of those who develop Reiter's Syndrome will experience a recurrence of symptoms. There is no specific treatment to cure the disease, so each of the symptoms are treated. Tylenol and Ibuprofen will decrease fever and may be enough analgesia to relieve the pain. If pain is severe, Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAID’s) may be used. Nutritional counseling may be important to maintain adequate dietary intake.

    Extractions: Subscribe now >> Reiter's syndrome is a disorder that causes three seemingly unrelated symptoms: arthritis, redness of the eyes, and urinary tract signs. Doctors sometimes refer to Reiter's syndrome as a seronegative spondyloarthropathy because it is one of a group of disorders that cause inflammation throughout the body, particularly in parts of the spine and at other joints where tendons attach to bones. (Examples of other seronegative spondyloarthropathies include psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and inflammatory bowel syndrome arthritis.) Inflammation is a characteristic reaction of tissues to injury or disease and is marked by four signs: swelling, redness, heat, and pain. Reiter's syndrome is also referred to as reactive arthritis , which means that the arthritis occurs as a "reaction" to an infection that started elsewhere in the body. In many patients, the infection begins in the genitourinary tract (bladder, urethra, penis, or vagina). The infection is most commonly passed from one person to another by sexual intercourse. This form of the disorder is sometimes called genitourinary or urogenital Reiter's syndrome. Another form of the disorder, called enteric or gastrointestinal Reiter's syndrome, develops when a person eats food or handles substances that are tainted with bacteria.

    Extractions: Reiter's syndrome (RS), which is also known as arthritis urethritica, venereal arthritis, reactive arthritis, and polyarteritis enterica, is a form of arthritis that affects the eyes, urethra, and skin, as well as the joints. It was first described by Hans Reiter, a German physician, during World War I. Description Reiter's syndrome is marked by a cluster of symptoms in different organ systems of the body that may or may not appear simultaneously. The disease may be acute or chronic, with spontaneous remissions or recurrences. RS primarily affects sexually active males between ages 20-40, particularly males who are HIV positive. Most women and children who develop RS acquire the disease in its intestinal form. Causes and symptoms The cause of Reiter's syndrome was unknown as of early 1998, but scientists think the disease results from a combination of genetic vulnerability and various disease agents. Over 80% of Caucasian patients and 50-60% of African Americans test positive for HLA-B27, which suggests that the disease has a genetic component. In sexually active males, most cases of RS follow infection with Chlamydia trachomatis or Ureaplasma urealyticum . Other patients develop the symptoms following gastrointestinal infection with Shigella Salmonella Yersinia , or Campylobacter bacteria.
