Abstract

A case of acute erosive, reactive arthritis following Campylobacter jejuni-induced ulcerative colitis is presented. This is the 12th such case reported in the literature and the first in which destructive lesions of periarticular bone are demonstrated. A review of the literature suggests that reactive arthritis associated with C. jejuni infection is similar to that following other invasive types of bacterial diarrhea and is often associated with HLA-B27 lymphocyte antigen.
