 ==Prognosis==
-Reactive arthritis may be self limiting, frequently recurring or develop continually. Most patients have severe symptoms lasting a few weeks to six months. Approximately 15 to 50 percent of cases have recurrent bouts of arthritis. Chronic arthritis or sacroiliitis occurs in 15-30 percent of cases. Repeated attacks over many years is common, and more than 40 percent of the patients end up with chronic and disabling [[arthritis]], [[heart disease]], [[diabetes]] or impaired vision. However, most people with reactive arthritis can expect to live [[life expectancy|normal life spans]] and maintain a near-normal lifestyle with modest adaptations to protect the involved organs.
