Abstract
Reactive arthritis is caused by an infection, and components of the triggering agent can be demonstrated at the site of inflammation. This fact has opened new views in studies regarding other rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. The possible role of infectious agents in their etiology and pathogenesis is being re-evaluated.Entities:
