Enteropathic Arthropathy Ankylosing Spondylitis Reactive arthritis Reiter Syndrome Enteropathic Arthritis Psoriatic spondyloarthropathy The Spondyloarthropathies are a group of disorders that share certain characteristics : 1. Arthritis - including peripheral arthritis and spinal involvement, usually involving also the sacroiliac joints. 2. They are Seronegative for Rheumatoid factor. 3. They may be involved with other medical problems - including... Psoriasis. Inflammatory bowel disease- ulcerative colitis or crohns disease. Post infective or reactive -to urogenital or gastrointestinal infections. Overlaps of these disorders may be seen. A strong genetic association with Class 1 HLA B27 gene (on chromosome 6) is described. Clinically they present with swelling of joints or an enthesopathy - inflammation of tendon insertions into bone. There is pain swelling and joint stiffness. The joint distribution depends on the subtype of the disease. Spinal involvement is characterised by sacroiliitis and inflammatory back pain. The latter consists of pain stiffness and progressive spinal restriction.

Information from Your Family Doctor Reactive Arthritis: What You Should Know What is reactive arthritis? Reactive arthritis is an uncommon disease that can make your joints hurt and swell. It can also cause rash, fever, weight loss, heart problems, red eyes, blurry vision and pain in the joints. "Reactive Arthritis" means your immune system is reacting to an infection you already had. Reactive arthritis is also called Reiter's (say: "rite-erz") syndrome. Who gets reactive arthritis? Reactive arthritis is most common in men who are 20 to 40 years old. You might get it a few weeks after having food poisoning. You can also get it after having some kinds of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as gonorrhea, chlamydia or HIV infection. Most people who get reactive arthritis were born with a gene, called HLA-B27, that makes them more likely to get this kind of arthritis. How can my doctor tell I have reactive arthritis? You probably have swelling in a knee, ankle or toe. Sometimes your heel or Achilles tendon will hurt. (The Achilles tendon is on the back of your ankle, right above your heel). You may feel pain or burning when you urinate. You could have a discharge from your penis or vagina. You also might have redness and burning in the white part of your eye. You may have eye pain or blurred vision. After talking to you and checking you, your doctor may do some tests to see if you have reactive arthritis. No one test can tell that you have the disease. Your doctor will put all the information together to decide if you have it. You may also need to be tested for STDs, since it's possible to have an STD without knowing it.

Reactive Arthritis Reactive arthritis is a reasonably rare type of arthritis, of which there are many. Compare with rhumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, there is much less information about this disease available, hence this contribution. It is an adverse reaction to a bout of food poisoning or other bacterial infection. Somehow the bacterial set of an immune response that inflames the joints. The mechanisms are not clear. People with a specific blood factor, HLA-B27, are more succeptible to the disease: about 10% of caucasians have this factor. There is no definitive diagnostic test: an bacterial infection in the weeks prior to the onset of reactive arthritis is about it. The symptoms can be controlled with anti-inflamatory drugs. My consultant says that most people recover within six months and never have a repeat: I remain to be convinced. Links Arthritis Canada

Ankylosing spondylitis This condition primarily affects the spine, but it may also cause arthritis in the hips, shoulders, and knees. The tendons and ligaments around the bones and joints in the spine become inflamed. Symptoms include pain and stiffness, especially in the lower back. Ankylosing spondylitis tends to develop during late adolescence or early adulthood. The Spondylitis Association of America is a good source for more information on this condition.

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.

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.

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.

33. REACTIVE ARTHRITIS SHEILA, reactive and rheumatoid arthritis I went to see our family doctor and he referredme to a rheumatologist who diagnosed me as having reactive arthritis. http://www.rheumatic.org/sheila2.htm

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.

My experience with Reactive Arthritis (Reiter's Syndrome) www.rheumatic.org www.roadback.org www.mercola.com www.drmirkin.com Well g'day!! This is my little story about one of the most pleasing things I have accomplished. The fight against Reiter's Syndrome (or Reactive Arthritis). There is a cure for this and similar illnesses such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. I believe that the cure is a medically proven fact. My story would back that up but please make your own judgements. Believe it or not I am very grateful that I suffered from this illness. I have learnt a lot about life and the value of it. It all started I guess a couple of years ago.... One day I had a sore elbow. So I went to my doctor. She gave me anti-inflammatories for it - which 'fixed it' short term obviously. As soon as the anti-inflammatories had worn off - my sore elbow came back. Pretty soon it got worse and eventually I could not straighten it out - and it hurt like hell to try. My Doctor couldn't figure out what was wrong. I had some blood tests but I can't remember what for. The anti-inflammatories would help only short term. Anyway things don't really improve and it's in my two biggest toes on my right foot - THAT hurts like hell. I am hobbling to work and on 'bad days' going down stairs one at a time - child style. Back to the specialist every now and then. One day he says - how about Methotrexate - a more "effective" treatment. But first we'll have you off to a sperm bank in case you want to have children later. Methotrexate can fuck up your fertility (pardon the French). I don't really like that idea.

35. REACTIVE ARTHRITIS reactive arthritis. Gabe Mirkin, MD. The most common cause of arthritis, particularlyin people under 50, is reactive arthritis that often follows an infection. http://www.drmirkin.com/joints/J159.htm

REACTIVE ARTHRITIS Gabe Mirkin, M.D. I am absolutely amazed that more doctors do not treat at least some of their arthritis patient with antibiotics because there are hundreds of papers showing that hundreds of different infections cause arthritis. Doctors do not have laboratory tests to diagnose many of the germs that cause arthritis. Failure to treat arthritis early can cause permanent cartilaginous damage so that no treatment can be effective later. The most common cause of arthritis, particularly in people under 50, is reactive arthritis that often follows an infection. If you develop sudden unexplained pain in one or more joints, your doctor should check you for an infection. You should be asked if you have a urinary tract infection: burning on urination, discomfort when your bladder is full, a feeling that you have to urinate all the time, getting up in the middle of the night to urinate. Check for a stomach infection: belching and burning in stomach or chest. Check for a lung infection: chronic cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, burning in your nose or soreness in your throat. Check for intestinal infection: diarrhea, belly cramps or blood in stool. Also check for gum disease, chronic stuffy nose, chills or fever. The following can cause reactive arthritis: Salmonella intestinal infection (1), mononucleosis (2,21,25), parvovirus, chronic hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C) virus infections (3), Retroviruses (4,5). Venereal diseases, such as chlamydia, mycoplasma, ureaplasma, gonorrhea and Gardnerella cause arthritis (6,7,8), mycoplasma (9), Human T Cell Leukemia Virus-1 (10,33), chlamydia (11,15,16,17,18,24,34), urinary infections with chlamydia, ureaplasma and mycoplasma (12,26,27,39), many different intestinal infections (13,35,41,42,43,44,45,46), ureaplasma (14,27), Lyme disease (19,23), Salmonella diarrhea (20), parvovirus B19 (22,36), cytomegalovirus (25,26,32), streptococcal sore throat (28), cat scratch disease (29), human herpes virus-6 (30), hemophilus influenza bacteria (31), AIDS (HIV) (33), hepatitis B and C (36). staph aureus bacterial infections (37,38). Additional references are provided below.

36. REACTIVE AND RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS There are two major types of arthritis osteoarthritis, also called degenerativearthritis, and reactive arthritis that includes rheumatoid arthritis. http://www.drmirkin.com/joints/J106.htm

REACTIVE AND RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS Gabe Mirkin, M.D. Most rheumatologists refuse to treat their rheumatoid arthritis patients with antibiotics even though controlled prospective studies show that minocycline drops the rheumatoid factor towards zero and helps to alleviate the pain and destruction of rheumatoid arthritis. The studies, referenced below, include: 1) First Netherlands study, 10 patients, J of Rheumatology 1990;17(1):43-46. 2) 2nd Netherlands Study, 80 patients, Arthritis and Rheumatism 1994;37(5):629-636. 3) Israel Study, 18 patients, J of Rheumatology 1992;19(10):1502-1504. 4) U.S.Mira Study, 219 patients, Annals of Internal Medicine. 1995(Jan15);122(2):81-89. 5) U.S. U of Nebraska Study, 40 patients, Arthritis and Rheumatism 1997;40(5):842-848. I treat my reactive arthritis patients with Minocycline 100 mg twice a day, (sometimes azithromycin 500 mg twice a week), but this must still be considered experimental because most doctors are not yet ready to accept antibiotics as a treatment. There is also possibility of a rare serious side effect of lupus. Many patients with rheumatoid arthritis do not feel better for the first few months after they start taking minocycline. If a patient does nor feel better after taking 100 mg of minocycline twice day for 2 months, I add Zithromax 500 mg twice a week. If the patient does not feel better after taking the two antibiotics for 6 months, I do add the immune suppressants that most rheumatologists prescribe. But as soon as they feel better, I stop the immune supppressants and continue the antibiotics.

SHELLYLOOS Elsewhere on the Web Reactive Arthritis How to classify and diagnose Reactive Arthritis is an area where there is less than total consensus. The history of its nomenclature begins in 1916 when Hans Reiter described a young soldier who had symptoms of polyarthritis, urethritis, and conjunctivitis (known as the clinical triad), following bloody diarrhea. In Germany, the clinical triad became known as "Reiter's syndrome". In the United States, Reiter's syndrome (RS) has been used to describe other arthritides (the plural of arthritis) that did not possess all three features of the clinical triad. Over the past few decades the classification was broadened, and in 1969 the term "Reactive Arthritis" was introduced in place of "Reiter's syndrome".

La artritis reactiva, también llamada síndrome de Reiter, es un tipo de artritis que se produce como forma de reacción a una infección en alguna parte del cuerpo. La mayoría de las infecciones que producen la enfermedad se originan en el aparato genitourinario (la vejiga, la uretra, el pene o la vagina), su diseminación es a través de contacto sexual. Una forma de la enfermedad se conoce como síndrome genitourinario de Reiter o síndrome urogenital de Reiter. Otras infecciones que pueden causar artritis reactiva son las infecciones gastrointestinales, debidas al consumo de alimentos contaminados o al manejo de sustancias contaminadas, en este caso la enfermedad recibe el nombre de síndrome de Reiter gastrointestinal o síndrome de Reiter entérico.
