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 called "reactive arthritis." Some think that it involves an immune system which is "reacting" to the presence of bacterial infections in the genital, urinary, or gastrointestinal systems. What causes it? Reiter's syndrome is thought to be partly genetic, with exposure to certain infections required to trigger the onset of the disease (this trigger can be a sexually transmitted disease). The HLA-B27 gene is commonly seen in patients with Reiter's syndrome.  What are the symptoms? Reiter's Syndrome commonly presents with arthritis, often in the spine and pelvis, inflammation of the urinary tract (nongonococcal urethritis), and inflammation of the mucous membranes that line the eyes and mouth.

It is usually brought on by having a sexually transmitted disease or an attack of dysentery. Who gets it? You may inherit a tendency to get this condition. You are more likely to get it if you are a young man - especially if you have unprotected sex with different partners, putting yourself at risk of getting a sexually transmitted disease called non-specific urethritis. What are the symptoms? The symptoms will often come on one to three weeks after you suffer a bout of dysentery or have unprotected sex with a new partner. You may suddenly get: Sore (but not very painful) red eyes;

The person may experience pain or burning when urinating. The conjunctiva, or membrane that covers the eyeball, can become red and inflamed. This causes itching and excessive tearing. Several joints are usually affected at once. The toes, legs, hips, and back are generally involved. There is inflammation, redness, and pain in the affected joints. Small, painless sores develop in the mouth, on the tongue, and on the end of the penis.

Hill Gaston and Lillicrap, 2003 Salmonella has been the most frequently studied bacteria associated with reactive arthritis. Overall, studies have found rates of Salmonella-associated reactive arthritis to vary between 6 and 30% ( Hill Gaston and Lillicrap, 2003 Dworkin, et al, 2001 ). In addition, individuals of Caucasian descent may be more likely those of Asian descent to develop reactive arthritis ( McColl et al, 2000 ), and children may be less susceptible than adults to reactive arthritis following infection with Salmonella ( Rudwaleit, et al, 2001 Hill Gaston and Lillicrap, 2003 ). HLA-B27 has been shown to be a predisposing factor in one-half to over two-thirds of individuals with reactive arthritis.( Hill Gaston and Lillicrap, 2003 Barth and Segal, 1999 ), While HLA-B27 does not appear to predispose to the initial infection itself, it increases the risk of developing arthritis that is more likely to be severe and prolonged. This risk may be slightly greater for Salmonella and Yersinia-associated arthritis than with Campylobacter, but more research is required to clarify this ( Hill Gaston and Lillicrap, 2003

Reiter's Syndrome 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: Urethritis - inflammation of the urethra. In men, this inflammation results in a discharge from the penis. In women, it may not cause any symptoms at all. Conjunctivitis - inflammation of the delicate membrane that lines the inner eyelids and the eyeball. Keratodermia blennorhagica - a chronic skin rash of scaly, reddish patches that may resemble psoriasis. Enteritis - inflammation of the bowel. 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.

Home About Us Patient Guide Facilities Directory ... Therapy Center 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. BACK HOME SITE ASSISTANT OHO STORE ...
