Abstract

Reactive arthritis following Escherichia coli urinary tract infection is very rare. We report a 25-year-old woman with acute oligoarthritis associated with bilateral anterior uveitis after an episode of urinary tract infection due to E. coli. The diagnosis of reactive arthritis was considered and the patient treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents. Disease course was rapidly successful and at 6-month follow-up the patient was asymptomatic. Reactive arthritis is associated with intestinal infection but also with common urinary tract infection.
