Reiter's syndrome (RS) generally affects adult white males. It occurs infrequently in adolescents. This condition is characterized by a triad of symptoms: arthritis, urethritis, and ocular abnormalities, and it usually has a benign course. We report an atypical case of RS in a black adolescent female who developed articular and ocular sequelae. Despite aggressive medical therapy, one year after diagnosis her condition has deteriorated and she is confined to a wheelchair. Although RS is believed to be a brief illness predominantly affecting the joints of the lower extremity, this condition may have severe systemic manifestations with chronic sequelae.
赖特综合征(RS)通常影响成年白人男性。在青少年中很少见。这种疾病的特征是三联征症状:关节炎、尿道炎和眼部异常,通常病程良性。我们报告一例非典型的RS病例,发生在一名出现关节和眼部后遗症的黑人青少年女性身上。尽管进行了积极的药物治疗,但诊断一年后她的病情仍恶化,只能依靠轮椅行动。虽然RS被认为是一种主要影响下肢关节的短暂疾病,但这种疾病可能有严重的全身表现和慢性后遗症。
