What is Sexually Acquired Reactive Arthritis about?

Sexually acquired reactive arthritis is an uncommon complication of urethritis or cervicitis associated with C. trachomatis or N. gonorrhoeae. Human leucocyte antigen B27 positivity is a risk factor. Main clinical features are musculoskeletal, ophthalmic, and dermatological with other systems rarely involved. The condition usually resolves in 2–6 months, but chronicity or recurrence affects 15–30%. Management includes treatment for specific infective agent and measures appropriate for the affected organs or systems as determined by clinical assessment.
