Features and Outcomes of Patients With Reactive Arthritis

The aim of this study is to assess the incidence and the clinical and therapeutic characteristics of reactive arthritis and to compare them with those of a historical cohort. We hypothesised that improved hygiene together with prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted infections may have decreased the incidence of reactive arthritis.
