Overview
Enteropathic arthropathy or arthritis refers to acute or subacute arthritis in association with or as a reaction to an enteric (usually colonic) inflammatory condition.
Pathophysiology
Causes/Associations:
- Reactive arthritis (Reactive to enteric infection)
- Spondyloarthropathies associated with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis)
- Malabsorption related: Intestinal bypass (jejunoileal), Celiac disease, Whipple disease
- Collagenous colitis
Note that reactive arthritis can also occur secondary to urethral infection. In that case the term enteropathic arthropathy would not be used.
