Reiter’s Syndrome (Reactive Arthritis) Made Easy | Internal Medicine NEET PG/FMGE/USMLE Reiter’s Syndrome—also known as Reactive Arthritis—is a post-infectious, seronegative spondyloarthropathy that typically follows gastrointestinal (Salmonella, Shigella) or genitourinary (Chlamydia trachomatis) infections 🦠. Characterized by the classic triad of asymmetric oligoarthritis, conjunctivitis or uveitis 👀, and urethritis 🚽, patients may also exhibit enthesitis (Achilles tendon pain), sacroiliitis, and distinctive mucocutaneous lesions such as keratoderma blennorrhagica on the soles and circinate balanitis 👣. A strong HLA-B27 association and elevated ESR/CRP with negative rheumatoid factor help confirm the diagnosis 🧬. Management focuses on NSAIDs for immediate relief, targeted antibiotics to eradicate the triggering infection, and DMARDs like sulfasalazine or methotrexate for persistent symptoms 🏥. Early recognition and a multidisciplinary approach help prevent chronic joint damage and optimize recovery 💪. #ReitersSyndrome #ReactiveArthritis #HLA_B27 #Conjunctivitis #Urethritis #NEETPG #FMGE #USMLE #MedicalEducation #Rheumatology
