Extractions: Advanced Search A patient information handout on reactive arthritis, written by the authors of this article, is provided on page 507. Reactive arthritis, also called Reiter's syndrome, is the most common type of inflammatory polyarthritis in young men. It is sometimes the first manifestation of human immunodeficiency virus infection. An HLA-B27 genotype is a predisposing factor in over two thirds of patients with reactive arthritis. The syndrome most frequently follows genitourinary infection with Chlamydia trachomatis , but other organisms have also been implicated. Treatment with doxycycline or its analogs sometimes shortens the course or aborts the onset of the arthritis. Reactive arthritis may also follow enteric infections with some strains of Salmonella or Shigella, but use of antibiotics in these patients has not been shown to be effective. Reactive arthritis should always be considered in young men who present with polyarthritis. Symptoms may persist for long periods and may, in some cases, cause long-term disability. Initial treatment consists of high doses of potent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Patients with large-joint involvement may also benefit from intra-articular corticosteroid injection.

Soy Isoflavones Methods of treating your prostatitis There are several methods and themes for treating prostatitis, some of which stand in stark contrast, others of which can be complementary. Because there is no scientific consensus on prostatitis and because some patients continue to suffer despite even the best methods, it is up to you, the patient, to decide what works best for you. Methods, themes and special topics are linked in the columns on both sides and described below. Note that the importance of these methods for you may not be related to where the links appear or the order in which they are mentioned in the following text Among them: In the USA, Canada, and much of Europe, your doctor is likely to treat you by prescribing antibiotics. This is often done whether or not a culture of your EPS or semen is performed. The antibiotics may help if your prostatitis is caused by bacteria , or it may help due to anti-inflammatory effects of antibiotics.

Extractions: Mother And Child Medical Services Back To Information Module Page..... REITER'S SYNDROME WHAT IS REITER'S SYNDROME? Reiter's syndrome is a form of arthritis and rheumatic disease. Arthritis literally means inflammation of the joints. Inflammation causes swelling, redness, pain, warmth, or stiffness. There are over 100 different kinds of arthritis which belong to a larger group of diseases called "rheumatic diseases." These diseases include not only arthritis, but also conditions which cause aches and pains in tissues near or around the joints, such as the ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Reiter's syndrome involves both inflammation within and around the joints, and particularly where ligaments and tendons attach to bones. The inflammation is also "systemic," meaning it occurs in many places throughout the body The term "syndrome" means that several different conditions occur within the course of the illness. WHAT HAPPENS IN REITER'S SYNDROME? Reiter's syndrome usually develops following an intestinal or a genital/urinary tract infection and is more likely to occur in individuals who have a particular genetic make-up. (See section on the causes of Reiter's syndrome.) People with Reiter's syndrome have arthritis and one or more of the following conditions: urethritis, prostatitis, cervicitis, cystitis, eye problems, or skin sores. (See next section for a more detailed description.) Many people have only one episode of Reiter's syndrome which goes away and does not return, while some people have repeated occurrences of the illness. Unfortunately the cause of the inflammation in Reiter's syndrome is unknown, so there is no cure yet. Nonetheless, we are learning more about it and people who have it can be helped.
