III AFLAR CONGRESS HELD IN CONJUNCTION WITH SARAA Reported by Ronald A. Asherson, MD, FACP, FCP (SA), FRCP (Lond), FACR, Rheumatic Diseases Unit, University of Cape Town School of Medicine, The Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town, and the Rosebank Clinic, Johannesburg, South Africa published 11. October 1999 The III African League Against Rheumatism (AFLAR) Conference was held in conjunction with the XVI Biennial Congress of the South African Rheumatism and Arthritis Association (SARAA) in the picturesque university town of Stellenbosch, about 60 km from Cape Town, from September 13-17, 1999. The meeting was also the venue for the annual ILAR Executive Committee Meeting. SURGERY IN RHEUMATIC DISEASES N. Gschwend (Zurich, Switzerland) opened a session on specific surgical topics and gave a fascinating talk on The Rheumatoid Arthritis Patient: A Classic Paradigm of Orthopaedics. He discussed interesting historic anecdotes concerning attitudes toward deformities. For instance, around 1100 AD the killing of those born as cripples was permitted. The teachings of Martin Luther considered these children to be "massa carnis," and their killing was believed to be for God's satisfaction! Gschwend traced the development of orthopaedic surgery in a general, but most informative way. He utilised a philosophical approach to the arthritic patient and how they have to adapt and live with their almost incurable deformities, accenting the views of Schilling and the problem of the "Gestalt" - the figure and shape of the body.

4TH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON REACTIVE ARTHRITIS Reported by Muhammad Asim Khan, MD, Professor of Medicine, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A. published 22. July 1999 The Fourth International Workshop on Reactive Arthritis, held in the beautiful city of Berlin, Germany, July 3 to 6, 1999, was organized by Joachim Sieper, Gabrielle Kingsley, and Jurgen Braun. Forty-two invited participants from Europe and North America attended the meeting. MECHANISM OF ENTERO INVASION OF BACTERIA T-CELL PROTECTION AGAINST MICROBES Stefan Kaufmann from Berlin pointed out that protection against microbes by T cells is regulated by Ag-presenting molecules, which comprise the classic MHC class I and class II molecules, the nonclassic MHC class Ib molecules, and the CD1 molecules that have structural similarity to MHC class I molecules. Human Group 1 CD1-restricted T cells play a regulatory role in the immune response against intracellular bacteria. Recent findings suggest that they recognize ligands such as glycolipids of mycobacteria, using alpha beta T cell receptor. The NK T cells, which also perform immune regulatory functions in infections, are restricted by Group II CD1 (CD1d) molecules. BACTERIAL ANTIGENS AND BACTERIAL DNA Bacterial antigens (lipopolysaccharide and heat-shock protein) persist in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and polymorphonuclear phagocytes for a long time in patients who develop ReA after Yersinia enterocolitica O:3 infection. These antigens can also be present in the synovial fluid cells of some of these patients. Kaisa Granfors has observed bacterial degradation products, but not bacterial DNA, in the inflamed joints of patients with Salmonella-triggered ReA.

We report a case in an immunocompetent man. Cryptosporidium infection is not uncommon in rural New Zealand; therefore, we suggest that New Zealand physicians need to consider the possibility of reactive arthritis (following diarrhoea) due to Cryptosporidium Case report A 41-year-old male service engineer developed profuse watery diarrhoea for 10 days after drinking water adjacent to the offal area at an abattoir whilst working. The symptoms settled spontaneously. Two weeks after the onset of his diarrhoea, he developed persistent swelling of his left ankle, both knees, and bilateral plantar fasciitis. Seven weeks after the onset of the diarrhoea, he developed an episode of uveitis. There was no back pain, sacroiliitis, rash, or dactylitis. No family history of reactive arthritis, or symptoms/signs associated with the seronegative spondyloarthropathies was elicited.

Search the Journal Home Current Issue Archives Guidelines for Authors ... Contact Info Human Immunodeficiency Virus Related Reactive Arthritis in Zambia PANGANANI NJOBVU and PAUL McGILL Objective. To characterize the clinical, radiological, and diagnostic features of reactive arthritis (ReA) in indigenous Black Zambians with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Consecutive patients attending an arthritis clinic over a 5-year period were studied prospectively. Those who satisfied diagnostic criteria for ReA were analyzed. HIV associated ReA in Black Zambians frequently follows an accelerated course with a strong tendency to relapse, develop early erosions and joint deformity, and become chronic. The clinical, diagnostic, and radiographic features are indistinguishable from those described in the conventional (HLA-B27 related) disease, although our HIV-positive patients have a high overall frequency of uveitis, keratoderma, and onycholysis.

UTHSC-H Home Contact Us People Directory Maps ... Site Map Search Distinctions Newest Issue Archive About Distinctions ... July, 2005 - Table of Contents In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue. His destination was the East Indies, but he inadvertently docked on New World soil, going down in history as the famed explorer who discovered America. Frank Arnett, M.D. Based on clues dotted throughout historical documents, Frank Arnett, M.D., professor of internal medicine and holder of the Elizabeth Bidgood Chair in Rheumatology, has deduced that Columbus most likely developed a progressively debilitating form of arthritis upon his return home from that maiden voyage. From the time Columbus was in his 40s until he died just short of his 55th birthday, he suffered from relapsing arthritis that began in lower extremities and became progressively disabling. He also had an old wound that reopened. There is evidence Columbus may have even had a fused spine, a symptom of ankylosing spondylitis, which is a cousin of reactive arthritis.

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).

It may also affect the eyes and the urethra, the tube that drains urine from the bladder. What is going on in the body? Reiter's syndrome refers to a condition in which a person develops acute arthritis in response to an infection. The affected joints involved in the arthritis do not contain infection. The immune system causes inflammation of the joints in response to an infection in a person with Reiter's syndrome. Reiter's syndrome may be seen following many different infections, including: sexually transmitted disease , such as chlamydia infection or HIV urinary tract infection intestinal infection, such as
