| Response from Dr. Henry
 Reiter's syndrome is a form of arthritis seen after a genital urinary infection or gastroenteritis and associated with conjunctivitis, and mucocutaneous lesions such as urethritis or cervicitis. There is a genetic connection (HLA B27)in many patients and the condition is felt to be related to abnormalities in the immune system. Most patients are not HIV+ though HIV+ persons may have a modest increased risk for Reiter's syndrome. KH | ||||||||
