Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Reactive arthritis is associated with demonstrable infection at a distant site without evidence of sepsis at the affected joint(s). We present a rare case reactive arthritis where no bacterial or chlamydial infections could be established, rather larvae of Strongyloides stercoralis could be demonstrated in the stool and duodenal biopsy. Reactive arthritis, psoriasiform lesions and malabsorption with hypoproteinaemia, responded to successful treatment with antihelminthic drugs. Early recognition and adequate treatment for gastrointestinal infections and infestations before complications is important. |
