Article Synopsis
- Reactive arthritis (ReA) is a type of joint inflammation that can develop after an infection, such as those in the gastrointestinal or urogenital areas, and recent reports suggest a potential link between ReA and COVID-19.
- A review of 35 case reports indicated that most patients affected were male, with an average age of 41, and many experienced polyarthritis along with other symptoms like skin issues and visual impairments; the majority recovered within about 24 days.
- Clinicians should be aware that ReA might occur after COVID-19, as musculoskeletal pain is common in these patients, and misdiagnosis could happen, highlighting the need for more research to explore this connection further.
