Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 57-year-old man developed oligoarthritis of the right sacroiliac joint, knee and elbow in the wake of Clostridium difficile pseudomembranous colitis. He was HLA B27-positive and had a history of Reiter's syndrome. His joint manifestations resolved after a course of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug therapy and injection of the right knee with triamcinolone acetonide. Clostridium difficile should be recognized as a rare cause of reactive arthritis. |
