Reiter's disease following non-specific dysentery (Jacobs, 1961) and Shigella sonnei dysentery (Corner, 1950) has been desciibed in children. The connection between the bowel infection and Reiter's disease is not clear and it is likely that the infection precipitates, rather than causes, the disease.…”

A case of Reiter's syndrome in a 3‐year‐old boy is reported. No recurrence developed during the following 10 years. A review of previous cases of Reiter's syndrome in children suggests that although this disease is uncommon in children, the findings were similar to those seen in adults.
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.
