He had an adverse reaction to it however all appeared well relatively quickly. Until some three weeks afterwards when he collapsed. Joint problems, blisters on the backs of his elbows, hands and problems with his feet. The most startling observation was totally red eyes - like a SciFi horror picture. Treated with steriod drops. He has gone down hill progressively since then, with serious sessions of finding it almost impossible to breath, and at one stage coughed up a large blood clot. Currently he is back in hospital and two striking developments have taken place. One small spots which quickly enlarge to the size of a finger end first of all these are red, then turn black.

Last night, during our Featured Chat, one of our Community Members, who happens to be a Pharmacist, mentioned that she'd like to find a device that would make opening and closing medicine bottles with childproof caps easier on the hands.

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.

Ask the Experts about Understanding Your Labs Mar 26, 1999 Dear Dr. Holodniy: Thank you for your response in advance. I'm now 24 weeks past exposure and negative at the 19wk mark by home access. I will take a final test this month. I had symptoms that could have been related to acute seroconversion at the 10 week mark. I had the typical GI symptoms, sore throat and sore glands. At this point I am having arthritic symptoms pain in arms, hands and pain in the shoulder area which feels like a burning muscular pain(both shoulders). I also had a urethral syndrome after my exposure and took cipro and zithromax for treatment. Do you think these symptoms could be related to HIV or possible some other condition such as reiters syndrome? Any suggestions as to appropriate follow-up at this point would be Greatly Appreciated.

I contracted Reiters after a bout of food poisoning while in the service. If you do a search on the Net you will find that some sites list some symptoms while other sites will list completely different ones. The truth is Reiters, or Reactive Arthritis as it is now known, is like the other 99 different flavors of arthritis. It has not been studied in any great detail and the medical profession continues to find out new info almost every day.

Extractions: A big thanks to Scott who also has had Reiter's syndrone for over 10 years now (10 years! poor bugger), who sent me this link, which is exactly what we need to know: ALKALIZING and ACIDIFYING FOODS (The Wolfe Clinic). Reactive Arthritis, an auto-immune disease is something that I caught (yes, caught) and have had for about 3.5 years. I was on crutches initially for a period of about 6 months, then on a walking stick for a good year and a half. This disease has gradually gotten better over this time, and I intend and expect to get completely healthy again. At the time I got the disease, my knee swelled up significantly over a period of about 3.5 days. On the Friday morning I woke up and could not walk - I had to crawl to the bathroom, and to the taxi to get to the hospital. I had gone to a physio the day before due to a tingle developing in my knee, and two days before that. It took some time to diagnose, eventually turned out to be reactive arthritis - my body's reaction to catching the chlamydia virus (through external-only sexual contact with an infected person), which gestated for may be four months. A single antibiotic tablet got rid of the chlamydia after a couple of days, yet it was too late for the arthritis. The other main factors in the onset of this disease were an extremely high level of stress for an extended period - working 12 to 16 hour days, 6 and a half days per week, over a period of two years; non-stop with no breaks in between. That and the fact that my diet had fallen dramatically, from healthy, to a lot of chocolate and some other junk foods.

It's free! Save it. We present a case of Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare (MAI) infection of the ankle joint in a patient with HIV infection. The patient presented with a painful, destructive arthropathy of the ankle. Initial microbiological studies were negative but infection with MAI was later identified from biopsies taken during hindfoot fusion. Antibiotic triple therapy was given and the patient remains pain-free without evidence of active infection. To our knowledge, this is the first case of MAI infection of the ankle reported in the literature. A high index of suspicion of (atypical) Mycobacterial infection should be maintained in patients with HIV infection presenting with an indolent but destructive arthropathy of the ankle joint.
