scotland + n. ireland north wales + midlands east + southeast ... south + southwest Professor Hill Gaston Reactive arthritis Professor Hill Gaston, University of Cambridge, explains one of the lesser-known forms of arthritis. At first sight you wouldn't think there was any connection between painful, swollen joints and an unfortunate encounter with a dodgy curry, one of Edwina Currie's Salmonella-infected eggs, or a milk bottle whose top has been pecked by the birds. However, there may be important clues about arthritis to be gained by looking at the connection, because there certainly is one. We're all increasingly aware of the dangers of food poisoning, with bacteria such as Salmonella not infrequent intruders into food we eat. There are several similar bugs to look out for: Campylobacter is carried by magpies, so as a simple rule of thumb avoid milk pecked by big birds (magpies) and worry less about those pecked by little ones (blue tits don't carry Campylobacter). Whilst food poisoning has little to recommend it, for the vast majority of people it's a short-lived episode which resolves with no long-term problems. However, for an unfortunate few, the end of the food poisoning is the beginning of an episode of joint inflammation which is likely to last several months, and in an even unluckier few, persist indefinitely. This is called reactive arthritis because the arthritis is seen as some kind of reaction to the infection.

SHEILA, reactive and rheumatoid arthritis My name's Sheila and I live in a glorious part of the U.S.A., near the southern coast of Oregon. That's where my story begins. I went to see our family doctor and he referred me to a rheumatologist who diagnosed me as having reactive arthritis. You see, several months before the onset of the arthritis I punctured the palm of my hand. The rheumy said it was the infection from this wound that caused the reactive arthritis. Much to my relief, he said my body would heal itself but that it would take about a year before I was completely healed. I felt like kissing him.What joy! Sure enough, about a year later I was back in high gear and pain free. I fell off my good diet and started eating junk and stopped exercising. I was rebelling big time. After all, I was well again and I enjoyed thumbing my nose at conventional wisdom. Then, in January, 1999, I met a lovely young woman named Cass. She was only 26 and had rheumatoid arthritis. She told me about this amazing treatment for RA called the antibiotic protocol or AP for short. She gave me the name of a book that she said would explain how it works and also the antibiotic therapy web site, www.rheumatic.org. I bought the book, "The Arthritis Breakthrough", read it, and then set out to find a doctor since my rheumy was not interested. Finally, after exhausting all my leads in Oregon, I decided to call Dr. Franco at the Arthritis Center of Riverside in California. They scheduled an appointment for April 21.

Coming into contact with bacteria and developing an infection can trigger reactive arthritis. Though inflammation of your joints (arthritis) is a defining feature of reactive arthritis, this condition can also be associated with inflammation in parts of your body including your eyes, skin and the tube that carries urine away from your bladder (urethra). For most people, signs and symptoms of reactive arthritis come and go, eventually disappearing within 12 months. Treatments involve therapies to manage your symptoms and to eliminate any underlying infection.

Reactive Arthritis And Reiter's Syndrome Reactive arthritis means that you develop inflammation in joints when you have an infection in some other part of the body. Other symptoms usually develop in addition to the arthritis. Symptoms commonly last 3-6 months. In some cases the arthritis persists long-term. Anti-inflammatory medicines usually ease the pain. Other treatments are sometimes needed. What is reactive arthritis? Arthritis means inflammation of one or more joints. Reactive arthritis is caused when a joint 'reacts' to an infection elsewhere in the body. The infection which triggers reactive arthritis is not actually in the joint, but is usually in the gut or urethra. Understanding joints A joint is where two bones meet. Joints allow movement and flexibility of various parts of the body. The movement of the bones is cased by muscles which pull on tendons that are attached to bone. Cartilage covers the end of bones. Between the cartilage of two bones which form a joint there is a small amount of thick fluid called synovial fluid. This fluid 'lubricates' the joint which allows smooth movement between the bones. The synovial fluid is made by the synovium. This is the tissue that surrounds the joint. The outer part of the synovium is called the capsule. This is tough, gives the joint stability, and stops the bones from moving 'out of joint'. Surrounding ligaments and muscles also help to give support and stability to joints

Reactive arthritis This is the clinical syndrome of arthritis ±extra-articular features following infectious diarrhoea or genitourinary infection. Reiter syndrome (RS) consists of the triad of post-infectious symmetrical oligoarthritis, urethritis and conjunctivitis and was first described in 1916. There appears to be a strong association with HLA B27 (~75%) and the seronegative arthropathies. The syndrome is sometimes subdivided into post enteric and post venereal subgroups, the former most commonly following an infection with Salmonella, Campylobacter , Shigella, Yersinia; and the latter following Chlamydia trachomatis infection or HIV. Epidemiology Incidence 5.0/100,000 patients aged 18-60 years. Most patients are aged 20-40. Risk Factors HLA B27. Presentation Symptoms begin 2-4 weeks after a gastrointestinal or genitourinary infection: features include malaise, fatigue, asymmetrical oligoarthritis (usually no more than 6 joints) mainly affecting lower limbs with inflammation of insertions of ligaments and tendons. Back pain is common. Skin (eg erythema nodosum, circinate

Fast Facts About AS Reactive Arthritis/Reiter's Syndrome (ReA) -About- -Symptoms- -Diagnosis- -Treatment- ... -Links to Additional Information- ABOUT REACTIVE ARTHRITIS Overview Reactive Arthritis (also known as Reiter's Syndrome) is a form of arthritis that can cause inflammation and pain in the joints, the skin, the eyes, the bladder, the genitals and the mucus membranes. Unlike ankylosing spondylitis, ReA does not normally affect the spine and the sacroiliac joints in a majority of cases. Reactive arthritis is thought to occur as a "reaction" to an infection that started elsewhere in the body, generally in the genitourinary or gastrointestinal tract. Is There a Cure? Although there is currently no known cure, there are treatments and medications available to reduce symptoms and manage the pain and inflammation caused by ReA. Please see our ReA Treament and Medications sections for more information. Potential Causes of Reactive Arthritis Reactive arthritis occurs after exposure / infection caused by certain types of bacteria. These include: Chlamydia, a bacterium contracted during sexually activity, which causes either burning urination or watery discharge from the penis or vagina.
