High-Yield Explanation
Reactive ahritis refers to acute nonpurulent ahritis complicating an infection elsewhere in the body.The clinical manifestations of reactive ahritis constitute a spectrum that ranges from an isolated, transient monoahritis or enthesitis to severe multisystem disease. A careful history will usually elicit evidence of an antecedent infection 1-4 weeks before onset of symptoms of the reactive disease, paicularly in postenteric reactive ahritis.The joints of the lower extremities, especially the knee, ankle, and subtalar, metatarsophalangeal, and toe interphalangeal joints, are most commonly involved.Reactive ahritis shares many features in common with psoriatic ahropathy.
