Summary
Reactive arthritis belongs to spondylarthropathies, and mostly has a good prognosis. HLA-B27 positivity and Chlamydia-induced reactive arthritis belong to unfavourable prognostic factors, which incline to a chronic course of the disease. The genetic characteristics of the host as well as the characteristics of Chlamydia are probably implicated in a chronic course of the disease. The article points out some recent findings in the pathogenesis and their significance in the therapy. New therapeutic directions deal mostly with the choice of new, more optimal, antibiotic treatment and the possibilities and difficulties of biological therapy.
Key words:
reactive arthritis, post-chlamydial reactive arthritis, pathogenesis, therapy
