Reiter's disease is characterized by non-gonococcal purulent urethritis followed in 2 to 14 days by arthritis and conjunctivitis. The arthritis is very painful, and is punctuated by remissions and exacerbations. The knees, the great toe joints, and the interphalangeal joints are affected most often, but other joints are frequently involved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
