  • Title: [Nosologic concept and new developments in the etiopathogenesis of reactive arthritis].
    Author: Wollenhaupt J, Hammer M, Zeidler H.
    Journal: Wien Med Wochenschr; 1990 Jun 30; 140(12):298-302. PubMed ID: 2204210.
    Abstract:
    Reactive inflammatory arthritis is caused by extraarticular infection with different arthritogenic microorganisms. The causative bacteria can not be cultured from synovial specimens, but bacterial antigens have been demonstrated in cells of synovial fluid and synovial membrane, respectively. Thus, latent intraarticular infection may be the cause of reactive arthritis. A model of the etiopathogenesis of reactive arthritis is described on the basis of recent immunological and microbiological findings.
