ABSTRACT
Reiter`s disease can no longer be considerded a rare and relatively benign syndrome, defined by the clinical triad of urethritis, conjunctivitis and arthritis. In the etiology of Reiter`s disease, it can be regarded as a post-infectious syndrome after certain enteric disease or veneral infection and usually occurs in patients between 20 and 40 years old, with a male to female ratio of 101 in dysenteric cases and 501 in veneral cases. The diagnosis of Reiter`s disease should quite obious when the clinical manifestation of non specific urethritis, conjunctivitis, arthritis and mucocutaneous lesions. Recently, HLA-B27 antigen is strogly associated with Reiter`s syndrome and may be diagnosticlly useful when HLA-B27 is positive. There is no specific therapy for Reiter`s disease, but conservative treatement is aviable of acute stage oir recurrence of the disease.
