“…In a previous study with similar length of follow up, we found radiological sacroiliitis in 36% of patients, half of whom had progressive changes 15. In a similar study on yersinia arthritis by Herrlinger and Asmussen,16 5% of patients had developed ankylosing spondylitis, and another 5% had progression of pre-existing ankylosing spondylitis. With extended follow up, the figures may even increase.…”

Objectives-Reactive joint complications triggered by salmonella gastroenteritis are increasingly reported, but the outcome and long term prognosis of the patients is incompletely known. This study looked at the prognosis of salmonella arthritis in patients hospitalised in 1970-1986. Methods-Hospital records from two hospitals in southern Finland were screened for patients with the discharge diagnosis of salmonellosis or reactive, postinfectious arthritis or Reiter's disease. For the patients with confirmed diagnosis of reactive salmonella arthritis, data about the acute disease were collected from the hospital records. A follow up study was performed. Results-There were 63 patients (28 women, 35 men, mean age 36.5 years) with salmonella arthritis. Urethritis occurred in 27%, eye inflammation in 13%, and low back pain in 44% of the patients. HLA-B27 was present in 88%. More men than women were HLA-B27 positive. HLA-B27 positive patients had higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate (mean 80.9 v 46.5 mm 1st h, p = 0.0180). Also, extra-articular features and radiological sacroiliitis were seen only in HLA-B27 positive patients. A follow up study was performed on 50 patients mean 11.0 (range 5-22 years) later. Twenty patients had recovered completely. Ten patients had mild joint symptoms, 11 patients had had a new acute transient arthritis, and five acute iritis. Eight patients had developed chronic spondyloarthropathy. Radiological sacroiliitis was seen in six of 44 patients, more frequently in male than in female patients (32% v 0%; p = 0.0289). Recurrent or chronic arthritis, iritis or radiological sacroiliitis developed only in HLA-B27 positive patients. Conclusion-Joint symptoms are common after reactive salmonella arthritis. HLA-B27 contributes to the severity of acute disease and to the late prognosis.

“…In genetically-predisposed individuals, this phenomenon, which is a subclass of spondyloarthropathy, frequently complicates genital infections and infectious-agent diarrhea. Chlamydia and perhaps Mycoplasma have been implicated for the former, while Shigella, Salmonella, Yersinia, Campylobacter, and enteropathic Escherichia coli have been implicated for the latter in humans and other primates [Ahvonen et al, 1969;Bardin & Lathrop, 1992;Bengtsson et al, 1983;Borg et al, 1992;Buxton et al, 2002;Calin & Fries, 1976;Cheevers and McGuire, 1988;Cohen et al, 1987;Cole et al, 1970;Deighton, 1993;Dworkin et al, 2001;Graham, 1919;Granfors et al, 1988;Hannu & Leirisalo-Repo, 1988;Hannu et al, 2002;Held & Whitney, 1978;Herrlinger & Asmussen, 1992;Hughes et al, 1991;Kanakoudi-Tsakalidous et al, 1998;Katz, 1989;Kvien et al, 1994;Laasila & Leirisalo-Repo, 1999;Leino et al, 1980;Leirisalo-Repo et al, 1997;Locht et al, 1993Maki-Ikola & Granfors, 1992;Maximov et al, 1992;Merilahti-Palo et al, 1991;Putterman & Rubinow, 1993;Rothschild & Woods, 1993;Rudwaleit et al, 2001;Simon et al, 1981;Snoy et al, 1985;Solitar et al, 1998;Stein et al, 1980;Taccetti et al, 1994;…”

Etiology of reactive arthritis in Pan paniscus, P. troglodytes troglodytes, and P. troglodytes schweinfurthii

The character of arthritis has not received the same attention in Pan paniscus as it has in P. troglodytes. Reactive arthritis (a form of spondyloarthropathy) in the latter has been considered to be either a sexually transmitted or an infectious-agent diarrhea-related disorder. The unique sexual promiscuity of P. paniscus enables us to distinguish between those hypotheses. The macerated skeletons of 139 adult P. paniscus, P. troglodytes troglodytes, and P. troglodytes schweinfurthii were macroscopically analyzed for osseous and articular pathologies. The sex of the animal was recorded at the time of acquisition. Twenty-one percent of the P. paniscus, 28% of the P. t. troglodytes, and 27% of the P. t. schweinfurthii specimens had peripheral and central joint erosive disease characteristic of spondyloarthropathy. Subchondral pauciarticular distribution and reactive new bone clearly distinguish this disease from rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and direct bone/joint infection. The fact that P. paniscus and P. t. troglodytes were similar in terms of disease frequency makes the notion of sexual transmission unlikely. While the frequencies of spondyloarthropathy were indistinguishable among all species/subspecies studied, the patterns of joint involvement were disparate. The Pan paniscus and P. t. troglodytes home ranges are geographically separate. We assessed possible habitat factors (e.g., exposure to specific infectious agents of diarrhea) by comparing P. paniscus and P. t. troglodytes with P. t. schweinfurthii. The latter shared similar patterns and habitats (separated by the Congo River) with P. paniscus. The explanation offered for habitat-specific patterns is differential bacterial exposure-most likely Shigella or Yersinia in P. paniscus and P. t. schweinfurthii.

“…In addition to the apparently mandatory second position of arginine, position 45 glutamic acid and position 67 cysteine apparently are required [Buxton et al, 1992;Rojo et al, 1993]. The occurrence of spondyloarthropathy depends not only on host susceptibility, but also on external microorganisms (in the form of infectiousagent diarrhea) [Ahvonen et al, 1969;Bardin & Lathrop, 1992;Borg et al, 1992;Buxton et al, 2002;Calin & Fries, 1976;Cohen et al, 1987;Deighton, 1993;Dworkin et al, 2001;Graham, 1919;Hannu & Leirisalo-Repo, 1988;Hannu et al, 2002;Herrlinger & Asmussen, 1992;Hughes et al, 1991;Kanakoudi-Tsakalidous et al, 1998;Kvien et al, 1994;Laasila & Leirisalo-Repo, 1999;Leino et al, 1980;Leirisalo-Repo et al, 1997;Locht et al, 1993Maki-Ikola & Granfors, 1992;Maximov et al, 1992;Merilahti-Palo et al, 1991;Putterman & Rubinow, 1993;Rudwaleit et al, 2001;Simon et al, 1981;Solitar et al, 1998;Stein et al, 1980;Taccetti et al, 1994;Thomson et al, 1994Thomson et al, , 1995Tupchong et al, 1999;Yli-Kerttula et al, 1995]. Of note is the contraction of spondyloarthropathy by 20-30% in individuals who develop Shigella dysentery, if they possess HLA-B27.…”

Gorilla gorilla and the less-studied G. beringei occupy very different, geographically separate habitats. We studied the occurrence of various forms of arthritis to examine possible nature/nurture causality. The macerated skeletons of 38 G. beringei and 99 G. gorilla individuals were examined macroscopically for the presence of articular and osseous pathologies. Contrasting with only isolated osteoarthritis and infectious arthritis was the frequent occurrence of a form of erosive arthritis associated with joint fusion. Twenty-one percent of the G. beringei and 20% of G. gorilla specimens were afflicted, which are statistically indistinguishable frequencies. While both had prominent axial disease, they differed in patterns of peripheral arthritis. Whereas G. beringei showed a pauciarticular pattern, the pattern in G. gorilla was more often polyarticular. Susceptibility to spondyloarthropathy was apparently genetically imprinted before Gorilla separated into G. gorilla and G. beringei. However, the different patterns of peripheral joint involvement suggest a causality resulting from lifestyle (e.g., the presence/absence or extent of knuckle walking) or a habitat-related infectious agent.
