Diagnosis
- Reactive arthritis is diagnosed based on the clinical presentation with supporting laboratory evidence.
- The gold standard for diagnosis of reactive arthritis include spondyloarthritis and clear evidence of preceding infection by culture (or polymerase chain reaction [PCR]).
- The diagnosis of reactive arthritis is made in the presence of any one of the following conditions:
- Symptoms such as asymmetric oligoarthritis (especially lower extremities), enthesitis, extra-articular signs in the presence of established preceding infection with Chlamydia, Salmonella, Yersinia, Shigella, or Campylobacter
- Symptoms such as asymmetric oligoarthritis (especially lower extremities), enthesitis, extra-articular signs in the presence of diarrhea or cervicitis within the last 6 weeks period.
- Any acute inflammatory arthritis in the presence of established preceding infection with Chlamydia, Salmonella, Yersinia, Shigella, or Campylobacter
