Reiter's disease after Salmonella typhimurium enteritis

J Rheumatol. 1980 Mar-Apr;7(2):211-2.

Abstract

We describe a case of Reiter's disease in an HLA-B27 positive black woman after infection with Salmonella typhimurium. Although reactive arthropathy following Salmonella infections is not unusual, Reiter's disease is rare. This may be the second such case in the English literature, and the first reported in North America.
