    Abstract:
    Two characteristic cases of Reiter's syndrome are reported. One (case T.M) was a 64-year-old female with ulcerative colitis and the other (case O.M) was a 20-year-old male with serum antistreptococcal lysine O (ASLO) and antistreptokinase (ASK) titers of 480x and 2560x, respectively. These cases were both histocompatibility antigen HLA-B27 positive. The ulcerative colitis and iritis were inactive in case T.M. However, case O.M required aggressive treatment for fever and arthralgia. These patients have recently shown no evidence of Reiter's syndrome; however, case T.M has had recurrent bowel hemorrhages due to ulcerative colitis.
