The first case of Clostridium difficile toxin-induced reactive arthritis in a patient with chronic Reiter's syndrome is described and compared with previous cases of reactive arthritis associated with this organism. This case demonstrates how distinct clinical manifestations may develop at different times in Reiter's syndrome, according to the infecting organism. Diagnostic terminology is discussed in this context. Clostridium difficile should now be considered a firmly established cause of reactive arthritis.
本文描述了首例艰难梭菌毒素诱发的慢性赖特综合征患者反应性关节炎，并与先前该病原体相关的反应性关节炎病例进行比较。该病例表明，根据感染病原体不同，赖特综合征在不同时期可能出现不同临床表现。本文还讨论了相关诊断术语。现在，艰难梭菌应被视为反应性关节炎的确切病因。
