  • Title: Incomplete Reiter's syndrome with focal involvement of the posterior segment.
    Author: Conway RM, Graham SL, Lassere M.
    Journal: Aust N Z J Ophthalmol; 1995 Feb; 23(1):63-6. PubMed ID: 7619459.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To describe an unusual variant of Yersinia-induced, HLA-B27 associated incomplete Reiter's syndrome with focal involvement of the posterior segment. METHODS: Review of case records of a patient presenting with incomplete Reiter's syndrome which included a reactive arthritis with keratoconjunctivitis and anterior uveitis. RESULTS: The uveitis progressed to involve the posterior segment with a vitritis and two transient white retinal spots. After resolving, a retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) defect persisted at the site of one of the lesions. CONCLUSIONS: While involvement of the anterior segment of the globe in Reiter's disease is well recognised, a review of the literature reveals that focal posterior involvement is a rare feature in either Reiter's syndrome or the reactive arthritis group.
