2017, Infectious Disease Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Chlamydia trachomatis is strongly associated with reactive arthritis. Nucleic acid from this organism has been detected in synovial fluid by direct immunofluorescence or polymerase chain reaction.6 Gastrointestinal pathogens such as Campylobacter jejuni, Clostridium difficile, Escherichia coli, Salmonella (various species), Shigella (especially S flexneri), and Yersinia (especially Y enterocolitica and Y pseudotuberculosis).
Reactive arthritis in relation to internal derangements of the temporomandibular joint: a case control study
2015, British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial SurgeryCitation Excerpt :The characteristics of the tissue in chronic closed lock are a disc with signs of degeneration and a chronically inflamed synovial lining.3,4 Reactive arthritis is a known perioinfective sequel to Chlamydia trachomatis and enteric pathogens such as Yersinia enterocolitica, Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., and Campylobacter jejuni.5–8 Infection with enteric pathogens normally causes gastrointestinal symptoms, which help diagnosis, but C trachomatis infection can pass unnoticed and leave both the patient and the physician unaware of the presence of disease.
