Author(s): Sandra Jazz

Reactive arthritis, formerly known as Reiter's syndrome, is a rare but potentially debilitating condition that typically arises as a reaction to an infection in another part of the body. This inflammatory joint disease often manifests in the form of joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, typically affecting the knees, ankles, and feet. However, it can also involve other areas such as the eyes, skin, and urinary tract. Understanding the intricacies of this condition is crucial for effective management and treatment.
