ABSTRACT
Reiter's syndrome is a clinical triad of urethritis, conjunctivitis, and arthritis, but the characteristic mucocutaneous lesion occurs very frequently. Therefore, Reiters syndrome in fact might better be considered a tetrad, consisting in its complete form of urethritis, arthritis, conjunctivitis, and mucocutaneous lesions. In initial stage of the disease, the arthritis usually appear after the urethritis and conjunctivitis have been made. The arthritis is usually of subacute onset, reaching its full intensity within a few weeks in most cases. Additionally a man with Reiters syndrome who developed aortic insufficiency with no evidence of syphilis or rheumatic heart disease has been reported. Two cases of Reiters syndrome are presented with the review of the literature the first case was a 60 years old male who had non-gonococcal urethritis with mucous purulent discharge, conjunctivitis, polyarthritis, and aortic insufficiency; the second case was a young man aged 21 years who had the characteristic conjunctivitis and a past history of urethritis, and he also has had obvious keratodermia blenorrhagica and polyarthritic symptoms and signs.
