title: Reactive arthritis. A clinical approach.
abstract: What do conjunctivitis, urethritis/cervicitis, and arthritis have in common? These are all clues to the diagnosis of reactive arthritis. It takes a keen eye, a thorough history, a good physical examination, and a broad differential diagnosis to pull together the picture when sorting through seemingly unrelated clinical symptoms. Often a team approach is used when caring for patients with reactive arthritis. This article presents the diagnosis and treatment of reactive arthritis.
