  • Title: Reactive arthritis associated with Shigella sonnei infection.
    Author: Lauhio A, Lähdevirta J, Janes R, Kontiainen S, Repo H.
    Journal: Arthritis Rheum; 1988 Sep; 31(9):1190-3. PubMed ID: 3048277.
    Abstract:
    Several studies have failed to show an association between Shigella sonnei dysentery and reactive arthritis. We describe 3 patients who had reactive arthritis and a recent or concurrent S sonnei infection. To our knowledge, this is only the second study to suggest this association. We propose that S sonnei should be considered as a triggering agent for reactive arthritis.
