“…The tenth rheumatism review published in 1953 describes a recently characterised condition called Reiter's Syndrome where the statement is made that 'Numerous reports on this syndrome had appeared' referring to the American and English literature reports from the preceding years. 9 The very first actual description of Reiter's syndrome was made by the English physician Benjamin Brodie over a century earlier in 1818 where he observed a 45-year-old man with arthritis, urethritis and conjunctivitis. 10 In 1916, Reiter in Germany and Fiessinger-Leroy in France described postdysenteric cases of urethritis-arthritisconjunctivitis combinations occurring in soldiers living in close quarters during World War I.…”

“…13 American publications describing this condition also could have contributed to distracting investigators from further studies characterising IBDarthritis, although it was prophetically stated in the tenth rheumatism review that postdysenteric arthritis can be clinically indistinguishable from Reiter's syndrome. 9 Further, it is clearly mentioned in this 1953 rheumatism review that a possible relationship to bacillary dysentery Spondyloarthritis Spondyloarthritis Spondyloarthritis should be considered under the discussion of the section called Aetiology of Reiter's Syndrome.…”

The arthritis connection to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD): why has it taken so long to understand it?

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) associated arthritis is a subgroup of spondyloarthritis (SpA) that has suffered from lack of recognition in rheumatology clinical and research circles for over 100 years. Although clinically distinguishable from rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, it took advances in detection systems in the middle of the last century (rheumatoid factor, HLA-B27) to convincingly make the final separations. We now know that significant numbers of patients with SpA have associated clinical IBD and almost half of them show subclinical gut inflammation, yet the connection between the gut and the musculoskeletal system has remained a vexing problem. Two publications from Nathan Zvaifler (one in 1960, the other in 1975) presciently described the relationship between the gut and the spine/peripheral joints heralding much of the work present today in laboratories around the world trying to examine basic mechanisms for the connections (there are likely to be many) between the gut, the environment (presumably our intestinal flora) and the downstream effect on the musculoskeletal system. The role of dysregulated microbiome along with microbiome-driven T helper 17 cell expansion and immune cell migration to the joints has been recognised, all of which occur in the appropriate context of genetic background inside and outside of the human leucocyte antigen system. Moreover, different adhesion molecules that mediate immune cells homing to the gut and joints have been noted. In this review, we studied the origins and evolution of IBD-arthritis, proposed pathogenic mechanisms and the current gaps that need to be filled for a complete understanding of IBD-arthritis.
