Reactive arthritis (ReA) is inflammatory arthritis that manifests several days to weeks after a gastrointestinal or genitourinary infection. It is also described as a classic triad of arthritis, urethritis, and conjunctivitis. However, a majority of patients do not present with the classic triad. It was previously called “Reiter syndrome,” and it was named after Hans Reiter, who first described this syndrome. It is believed that the disorder is due to an aberrant autoimmune response to a gastrointestinal or genitourinary infection caused by salmonella, shigella, campylobacter, or chlamydia. This activity describes the causes, pathophysiology, and presentation and highlights the interprofessional team’s role in managing this disorder.
