Abstract
A case of Reiter's disease in a 15-month-old child is presented. The manifestation of this syndrome in childhood is an extraordinary event, so far few cases only have been observed. The symptoms of the syndrome are urethritis, arthritis and iritis. A specific infection could not be demonstrated. The typical clinical features are discussed and compared with earlier reports. Speculations on the etiology are made.
