41. Reiter's Syndrome (Reactive Arthritis)
    In the Spotlight. April 19, 2000. Reiter's Syndrome (reactive arthritis).By Nick Shah, MD Kenneth Song, MD Personal MD.com Contributing Writers.  
    http://www.personalmd.com/news/reiters_syndrome_041900.shtml
    
    Extractions: Personal MD.com Contributing Writers Reiter's syndrome, also known as reactive arthritis, is an arthritis usually associated with an infection elsewhere in the body, especially the gut (intestines) and genitals. It is the most common type of arthritis affecting young men, with men between the ages of 20 and 40 most likely to develop it. Reiter's syndrome belongs to a group of disorders collectively termed the spondyloarthropathies. These disorders are characterized by arthritis of varying degree and a genetic risk factor by carrying the gene HLA-B27. Other diseases in this group of disorders include psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and colitic arthritis, which is associated with inflammatory bowel disease. How does it occur?

    Extractions: Note: The following article is reprinted from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin disease. NIH pub. # 02-5039 What Is Reactive Arthritis? Reactive arthritis is a form of arthritis or joint inflammation that occurs as a "reaction" to an infection elsewhere in the body. Inflammation is a characteristic reaction of tissues to injury or disease and is marked by swelling, redness, heat, and pain. Besides this joint inflammation, reactive arthritis is associated with two other symptoms: redness and inflammation of the eyes (conjunctivitis) and inflammation of the urinary tract (urethritis). These symptoms may occur alone, together, or not at all. Reactive arthritis is also known as Reiter's syndrome, and your doctor may refer to it by yet another term, as a seronegative spondyloarthropathy. The seronegative spondyloarthropathies are a group of disorders that can cause inflammation throughout the body, especially in the spine. (Examples of other disorders in this group include psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and the kind of arthritis that sometimes accompanies inflammatory bowel disease.)

    reactive arthritis (Formerly Reiter Syndrome). What is reactive arthritis? Reactivearthritis is considered a systemic rheumatic disease.  
    http://www.medterms.com/Reactive_Arthritis/article.htm
    
    Extractions: Reactive arthritis is a chronic form of arthritis featuring the following three conditions: (1) inflamed joints; (2) inflammation of the eyes (conjunctivitis); and (3) inflammation of the genital, urinary or gastrointestinal systems. This form of joint inflammation is called "reactive arthritis" because it is felt to involve an immune system which is "reacting" to the presence of bacterial infections in the genital, urinary, or gastrointestinal systems. Accordingly, certain people's immune systems are genetically primed to react aberrantly when these areas are exposed to certain bacteria. The aberrant reaction of the immune system leads to spontaneous inflammation in the joints and eyes. This can be confounding to the patient and the doctor when the infection has long passed at the time of presentation with arthritis or eye inflammation.

Contact Info Reactive Arthritis and Other Sequelae Following Sporadic Salmonella typhimurium Infection in British Columbia, Canada: A Case Control Study JANE A. BUXTON, MURRAY FYFE, SAMARA BERGER, MICHELLE B. COX, KIMBERLY A. NORTHCOTT, and the Multiprovincial Salmonella typhimurium Case-Control Study Group ABSTRACT Objective . To describe sequelae occurring in the 3 months after sporadic Salmonella typhimurium (ST) infection in British Columbia (BC), Canada. We compared the incidence of sequelae to similar symptoms in controls; identified risk factors for developing sequelae; identified the incidence of reactive arthritis (ReA) as diagnosed by a rheumatologist, and assessed primary care physician diagnosis of ReA. A questionnaire was administered by telephone to cases of ST occurring in BC between December 1, 1999, and November 30, 2000; and to controls obtained from the BC provincial client registry. Cases reporting symptoms were followed up by a rheumatologist. Thirty-five of 66 (53%) cases reported any symptom, 17 (26%) reported joint symptoms. The Mantel-Haenszel odds ratio (weighted by sex and pediatric/adult) of a salmonella case reporting "any symptom" compared to controls was 5.42; 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.18-16.27; and reporting joint symptoms was 4.40; 95% CI: 1.25-19.53. The sex distribution of cases reporting joint symptoms was not significantly different. No medication taken during the salmonella infection was significantly different between the cases who had joint symptoms and those who did not. Four cases (2 adults, 2 children) were considered by the rheumatologist to have symptoms consistent with ReA, 2 of these had been told by a physician that their symptoms were related to their ST infection.

    Extractions: To define the candidate bacterial trigger and cytokine profile of synovial fluid mononuclear cells (SFMC) in patients with sporadic enteric reactive arthritis (ReA) and undifferentiated spondyloarthropathy (uSpA). The study group comprised 10 patients with ReA and 23 with uSpA who fulfilled European Spondylarthropathy Study Group criteria. Ten patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) served as disease controls. IgG, IgA, and IgM antibodies to Shigella flexneri Salmonella typhimurium , and Yersinia enterocolitica were measured in sera and SF by ELISA. Peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) and SFMC proliferation assays were done in the presence or absence of crude bacterial lysates. Bacterial antigens and DNA in synovial cells were detected by indirect immunofluorescence and polymerase chain reaction, respectively. Interferon- g (IFN- g ), interleukin 10 (IL-10), and IL-4 were measured in 18 h SFMC culture supernatants in presence of bacterial lysate.

    This is called reactive arthritis. reactive arthritis can result from a bout ofsalmonella, shigella, and campylobacter contracted through food poisoning.  
    http://www.ahealthyme.com/topic/infectiousarthritis
    
    Extractions: The long-term outlook When we think of invading bacteria, we usually don't think of our joints as a potential target. But if there's an infection somewhere in your body, the germs can travel through your bloodstream to attack a joint. Bacteria can also enter a joint directly, either right after surgery or from an injury, for example. Either way, the infected joint becomes swollen, inflamed, and painful. Doctors call this condition septic arthritis, bacterial arthritis, or infectious arthritis. Germs don't have to invade a joint to cause arthritis. Some types of infections can trigger an unusual reaction in the body that results in widespread inflammation, pain, and swelling in the joints. This is called reactive arthritis. Reactive arthritis can result from a bout of salmonella, shigella, and campylobacter contracted through food poisoning. A case of reactive arthritis can also follow certain sexually transmitted infections, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HIV. Both septic arthritis and reactive arthritis can cause pain and swelling in a joint. Septic arthritis most often occurs in one joint, usually a knee, shoulder, or wrist, but it can involve several. It typically causes a mild fever, and the patient may feel like it's impossible to move the joint.

    Extractions: Abstract: BACKGROUND: Antigen-specific lymphocyte proliferation of synovial fluid mononuclear cells (SF MNC) has been reported repeatedly in reactive arthritis and Lyme arthritis; however, less information is available on serial investigations of SF MNC in the same patients. METHODS: In this study, the synovial lymphocyte proliferation to Yersinia, Chlamydia, Shigella and Borrelia burgdorferi was investigated sequentially at different time points in 28 patients with reactive arthritis, undifferentiated oligoarthritis or Lyme arthritis responding to one of these bacteria. RESULTS: The same bacterium was always recognized in arthritis triggered by Chlamydia, Shigella or Borrelia, with much variation in the proliferative response. Only the Yersinia-specific responses changed specificity, suggesting that the proliferative response to Yersinia is non-specific in some patients.

    Extractions: Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether determining the presence of serum or synovial fluid (SF) IgG and IgA of anti-Chlamydia antibodies with two recent commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) using synthetic peptides or recombinant antigen could be helpful to detect possible Chlamydia trachomatis (CT)-involved disease in rheumatological patients without evidence of urogenital CT infection. METHODS: The prevalence of such antibodies was determined in samples from patients with well-defined disease, i.e. CT sexually acquired arthritis and from patients with other inflammatory arthropathies unrelated to CT. RESULTS: When considering IgG and/or IgA anti-MOMP or anti-LPS antibodies, a sensitivity of 100% was obtained for serum and SF samples, but with a low specificity. A sensitivity and a specificity equal or close to 80% were observed for the SF IgG anti- MOMP antibodies.

60. Etiopathogenesis Of Rheumatoid Arthritis
    The working hypothesis of the project is based on our previous and ongoing researchin reactive arthritis (ReA). Toivanen A. Managing reactive arthritis.  
    http://www.utu.fi/research/tic/projects/toivanen.html
    
    Extractions: The goal of this project is to clarify the etiopathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It is the most crippling disease in the world affecting 100-200 million people. In Finland alone, 1,000 persons are transferred to disability pension each year, due to RA and related disorders. No specific treatment of RA exists. Such a treatment and means for prophylaxis can only be developed when the etiology and etiopathogenesis of RA have been clarified. Until that, the economic and social consequences of rheumatoid arthritis, including the human suffering, remain unmeasurable. The working hypothesis of the project is based on our previous and ongoing research in reactive arthritis (ReA). The hypothesis predicts that RA is caused and maintained by unknown factors X and Y, out of which one or both represent microbes or microbial degradation products. They may be identical or different. They may be exogenous, endogenous or belong to the normal microbial flora. For development of the disease, a mutual contribution of the causative factors and the genetically susceptible host is required. Particular emphasis is given to extension and application to RA of our previous results, which have in ReA revealed the significance of the intestinal flora as well as the presence of microbial products at the site of inflammation.
