Radiologic features of Reiter disease.

The radiologic manifestations of Reiter disease in 56 patients are described. Although the findings are often nonspecific, certain features are distinctive, particularly when present in combination. These include subtle periosteal bone apposition at bony prominences, the infrequency of regional panarthritis and hip and shoulder involvement, the tendency for destructive arthritis to be confined to small joints, particularly in the feet, and a typically "discontinuous" spondylitis characterized by eccentric, laterally positioned vertebral hyperostoses which tend to bridge around the contigous disk. Attention is drawn to similar hyperostoses which occur above the true sacroiliac joints. The significance of these features, particularly in terms of differential diagnosis, is discussed.

[Reiter disease: clinical manifestations and diagnostic criteria].

Reiter's disease in the majority of cases has a postenteral and urogenital genesis, with idiopatic one occurring much more seldom. The clinical picture is rather polymorphous, with typical (full) urethro-oculosinovial symptom complex being encountered in 55 percent of patients, partial one--in 33 percent; in 12 percent of patients there is an extensive urethro-oculoarticular symptom complex. Visceral lesions are noted as myocardiodystrophy, myocarditis, breakdown of the liver, damaged kidneys, lungs, pleura, nervous system. Articular affections as polyartritis is encountered in 62 percent of patients, oligoarthritis--in 33 percent, monoarthritis--in 5 percent; there is also clinical evidence of spinal affections together with those of the pelvic bones. With well-timed diagnosis and adequate therapy the disease runs a mild course. Diagnosis of Reiter's disease in the presence of a characteristic triad does not seem to be a formidable challenge to the practising profession. The use of diagnostic criteria permits recognizing the condition in a timely fashion, the knowledge of further and complementary signs helping the physician in conducting a differential diagnosis.

Reiter disease with atlanto-axial subluxation.

The authors report the first known case of atlanto-axial subluxation in Reiter arthritis. The type of analysis, including radiographic and laboratory examinations, required for a diagnosis of atypical Reiter disease is an important feature of the case.

Reiter's disease.

Reiter's disease can no longer be considered a rare and relatively benign syndrome consisting of the clinical triad of urethritis, conjunctivitis and arthritis. It is, in fact, a post-infectious reactive arthritis that belongs to a new group of diseases now called seronegative spondyloarthropathies. These diseases are characterized by an extremely high association with the genetic marker, human leukocyte antigen B27. In its full course, the disease often is incomplete with its initial clinical manifestations and characterized by chronicity and progressive crippling recurrences.

Identifying Reiters disease in Papau New Guinea.

Seven cases of non-supportive polyarthritis are reported from the Madang General Hospital over a 12 month period from June 1972. The distribution of diagnostic categories is similar to that reported by Maddocks in Port Moresby, with Reiter's disease featuring prominently. One case of Reiter's disease was associated with a haemolytic anaemia, considered to be auto-immune in origin.

[Fiessinger-Leroy-Reiter disease seen in a rheumatology unit. Apropos of 71 cases].

71 cases of Reiter's disease have been observed since 1972. After a study of the clinical characteristics of these cases, we report the results of 3 laboratory examinations which, grouped together, facilitate the diagnosis of the complete forms, but, above all, of the incomplete and synovial forms. The search for chlamydia cell inclusions was positive in 80% of cases where carried out. The lymphocyte transformation test with the chlamydia antigen was positive in 72% of cases. The search for HLA B27 was positive in 78% of cases.

Acute lumbosacral myofascitis associated with Reiter's disease.

Reiter's syndrome is an arthritic condition that has as its main diagnostic features polyarthritis, conjunctivitis and urethritis. It is not typically associated with lumbosacral symptomatology. This paper reports a case of Reiter's syndrome with lumbosacral myofascitis. Therapy and management are discussed. (J Manipulative Physiol Ther 1988;11:500-504).

[The clinico-echocardiographic characteristics of heart involvement in seronegative spondylarthritis (Reiter's disease, Bechterew's disease and psoriatic arthritis)].

As many as 136 patients (76 with Bechterew's disease, 40 with Reiter's disease and 20 with psoriatic arthritic) and 35 practically healthy persons were examined by echocardiography combined with electro-, phonocardiographic and by clinical, x-ray and laboratory methods. 62 patients were examined over time (within a period from 1 to 4 years). Echocardiography was used to study in detail the central and intracardiac hemodynamics, the status of the valvular apparatus of the heart and of the aorta. The different clinical characteristics of the disease were established to make a concrete contribution to the development of cardial pathology. The disease duration is the most significant characteristics. A long-term prospective follow-up coupled with echocardiographic examinations made over time enabled one to specify the structure of heart damage in patients suffering from Bechterew's disease, Reiter's disease and psoriatic arthritis depending on the hypothetic nature of the damage.
