Reiter syndrome is an autoimmune condition that develops in as a reactive response to GI or GU related infectious and rarely related to Intravesical BCG. it is a triad of conjunctivitis, urethritis, and arthritis. Here we report the case of a female patient who developed acute Reiter's syndrome following intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) immunotherapy for superficial bladder cancer. After the sixth dose in the maintenance phase of treatment the patient developed conjunctivitis, aseptic urethritis, and polyarthritis consistent with a diagnosis of Reiter's syndrome. In this patient non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), oral steroids and anti-tuberculosis drugs were administered with complete resolution of symptoms.

Role of serum procalcitonin in differentiating disease flare and systemic bacterial infection among febrile children with known chronic rheumatic diseases: a cross-sectional study.
Turk J Pediatr
December 2024
Department of Pediatrics, Nilratan Sircar Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata, West Bengal, India.
Objectives: To evaluate the role of serum procalcitonin (PCT) as a diagnostic tool to differentiate bacterial sepsis from flare-ups during febrile episodes in children with known rheumatic disorders compared to other inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR).
Methods: Previously diagnosed patients with known rheumatic disorders presenting in emergency or outpatient departments with febrile episodes were included in the study. Blood samples were collected upon admission to test for signs of infection, including serum PCT levels with routine laboratory and radiological tests.
