RETROSPECTIVE EVALUATION OF CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS IN PATIENTS WITH REACTIVE ARTHRITIS
Abstract
Reactive arthritis (ReA) is an inflammatory joint disease that develops following genitourinary or gastrointestinal infections and is characterized by a heterogeneous clinical presentation. The aim of this study was to perform a retrospective evaluation of clinical features, laboratory findings, and disease course in patients with reactive arthritis. A total of 80 patients diagnosed with ReA were included in the study. Clinical manifestations, laboratory parameters, and disease patterns were analyzed. The most common triggers were urogenital infections (45%) and enteric infections (40%). Peripheral arthritis was observed in 92.5% of cases, with predominant involvement of the lower extremities. Extra-articular manifestations, including conjunctivitis (28.7%), urethritis (35%), and skin lesions (18.7%), were frequently identified. Elevated inflammatory markers (ESR, CRP) were present in the majority of patients. The findings confirm the polymorphic nature of reactive arthritis and highlight the importance of early recognition and multidisciplinary management.
