title: Reactive arthritis induced by Vibrio parahaemolyticus.
abstract: We describe a case of reactive arthritis after Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection. V. parahaemolyticus is the principal bacteria involved in the causation of foodborne gastroenterocolitis outbreaks in Japan. Several bacteria have been recognized as being involved in the development of reactive arthritis and this is the first report of reactive arthritis induced by V. parahaemolyticus.
