  • The common triad of symptoms associated with reactive arthritis (aka Reiter's Syndrome) consists of conjunctivitis, urethritis, and arthritis.
  • Reactive arthritis commonly presents with a history of a GU infection (often chlamydia) or GI infection (Shigella, Campylobacter, Yersinia, Salmonella). It is more common in men and those between 20 and 40 years old.
