  • Title: [Rheumatologic syndrome in gastrointestinal diseases. Clinical and pathogenetic aspects].
    Author: Hermann E, Mayet WJ, Poralla T, Meyer zum Büschenfelde KH.

    Abstract:
    Patients with reactive arthritis, sacroiliitis, spondylitis or Reiter's syndrome following intestinal infection from Yersinia, Salmonella, Shigella or Campylobacter organisms have been reported from endemic areas and after epidemic dysenteries. Possession of the antigen HLA B27 affects severity and prognosis of the arthritis and is more often associated with spondylitis and Reiter's syndrome. Articular manifestations are also quite common systemic complications of chronic inflammatory bowel disease. The clinical picture, pathogenetical aspects and treatment of arthritis associated with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and Whipple's disease are reviewed. In only few cases, coeliac disease can be complicated by arthritis. In patients undergoing intestinal bypass surgery systemically absorption of intestinal bacterial antigens and immune complex formation may contribute to the development of bypass-arthropathy and dermatologic manifestations.
