ABSTRACT
Clostridium difficile is the leading cause of hospital-acquired diarrhea. The frequent use of antibiotics and chemotherapeutic agents increases the likelihood of acquiring Clostridium difficile-associated disease. Reactive arthritis is a recognized sequela of infection with a many types of enteric or urogenital pathogens. Although the main bacterial causes of reactive arthritis following enteric infection are Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter and Yersinia, Clostridium difficile should be considered as a rare cause of reactive arthritis. We report here on a case of a 63-year-old man who presented with reactive arthritis following an infection with Clostridium difficile.
