Treatment of Reactve Arthrits: A Case Report
,
Abstract
Reactive arthritis is clinically defined as inflammatory aseptic arthritis which develops shortly after an extra-articular infection. The classic triad of conjunctivitis, urethritis, and arthritis is found in a minority of patients. Patiepresent with an asymmetric mono- or oligoarthritis that predominantly affect lower limbs. Here, we present a case of reactive arthritis with inadequate primary response to Nonsteroidants Usually l Non-SteroidalAnti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs).
