Identifying Reiters disease in Papau New Guinea.
Seven cases of non-supportive polyarthritis are reported from the Madang General Hospital over a 12 month period from June 1972. The distribution of diagnostic categories is similar to that reported by Maddocks in Port Moresby, with Reiter's disease featuring prominently. One case of Reiter's disease was associated with a haemolytic anaemia, considered to be auto-immune in origin.
