Reactive arthritis refers to a form of inflammatory arthritis that is triggered by certain bacterial infections, typically urogenital or gastrointestinal.  It belongs to the family of rheumatologic diseases known as spondyloarthritis, which includes all inflammatory diseaeses that involve both the joints and the entheses.

The term "reactive arthritis" was first coined in 1969 in a case report describing an arthritis associated with a Yersinia enterocolitica infection.  Historically, it has also referred to one component of the clinical triad formerly known as Reiter syndrome (post infectious arthritis, urethritis, and conjunctivitis), although this clinical syndrome only represents a subset of patients with reactive arthritis.  In 1999, a list of gastrointestinal and urogenital pathogens thought to be causative of this condition was created by a panel of experts.

==[[Reactive arthritis causes|Causes]]==
Reactive arthritis is typically caused by a preceding enteric or genitourinary infection in a genetically susceptible individual.  These infections include:
*salmonella
*shigella
*yersinia
*campylobacter (especially campylobacter jejuni)
*clostridium dificile
*chlamydia trachomatis
There is also an association between HIV and reactive arthritis, although it is thought to be mediated through other infections to which HIV infected patients have been exposed, rather than the HIV virus itself.
