Reactive arthritis associated with campylobacter enteritis.

Campylobacter enteritis is a known aetiological factor in reactive arthritis. We surveyed patients in the Harrow Health District known to have had campylobacter enteritis for manifestations of arthritis. Acute attacks of arthritis occurred in 8 of 33 adults admitted with enteritis. None were identified in patients under 16 or in those diagnosed in the community.
