Descriptor artritis reactiva
Entry term(s) artritis postinfecciosa
Scope note: Artritis inflamatoria y aséptica, no infecciosa, que se desarrolla tras una infección extraarticular primaria, característicamente del TRACTO GASTROINTESTINAL o del SISTEMA GENITOURINARIO. Los patógenos desencadenantes suelen ser SHIGELLA, SALMONELLA, YERSINIA, CAMPYLOBACTER o CHLAMYDIA TRACHOMATIS. La artritis reactiva muestra fuerte asociación con el ANTÍGENO HLA-B27.

Scope note: An aseptic, inflammatory arthritis developing secondary to a primary extra-articular infection, most typically of the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT or UROGENITAL SYSTEM. The initiating trigger pathogens are usually SHIGELLA; SALMONELLA; YERSINIA; CAMPYLOBACTER; or CHLAMYDIA TRACHOMATIS. Reactive arthritis is strongly associated with HLA-B27 ANTIGEN.
