  • Title: Postvenereal Reiter's syndrome in Greenland.
    Author: Bardin T, Lathrop GM.
    Journal: Rheum Dis Clin North Am; 1992 Feb; 18(1):81-93. PubMed ID: 1561411.
    Abstract:
    Reiter's syndrome is very frequent in the Inuit of Greenland, because of high frequencies of venereal disease and HLA-B27. The authors report the results of the epidemiologic work and of the study of the effects of antibiotic treatment of venereal infection. In Reiter's syndrome patients, treatment of venereal infections by erythromycin or tetracycline was associated with a significant reduction in the rate of postvenereal arthritic flares.
