title: [Reiter's syndrome. Description of 2 cases with Chlamydia trachomatis infection].
abstract: Two cases of Reiter's syndrome that followed chlamydial infection are reported. The presence of ocular and genitourinary symptoms that suggest Reiter's disease is common, as the presence of histocompatibility antigen HLA B 27. Both cases had a particularly favourable course. The peculiar persistence of IgA anti-Chlamydia antibodies for relatively long periods of time induce the Authors to advance a hypothesis of use in chronic chlamydial infection diagnosis.
