Reactive arthritis (ReA) with the classic triad of arthritis, conjunctivitis and urethritis, previously termed Reiter's syndrome, is a systemic illness, usually induced by genitourinary or gastrointestinal infections. However, it can be a rare complication of intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin instillation (iBCG), a therapy prepared from attenuated strains of , a common and effective treatment for carcinoma in situ of the bladder (CisB). We report a case of a patient with CisB who developed ReA after iBCG. The symptoms resolved completely with corticosteroids. iBCG was stopped with no recurrence of carcinoma within 2 years.
ReA is an aseptic arthritis, usually triggered by genitourinary or gastrointestinal infections, generally in individuals positive for HLA-B27.Septic arthritis and microcrystalline arthritis can mimic ReA and they must be ruled out with arthrocentesis.ReA may be considered as a complication in patients under iBCG.
反应性关节炎(ReA)具有关节炎、结膜炎和尿道炎的经典三联征,以前称为赖特综合征,是一种全身性疾病,通常由泌尿生殖系统或胃肠道感染引起。然而,它可能是膀胱内卡介苗灌注(iBCG)的一种罕见并发症,iBCG是一种由卡介苗减毒株制备的疗法,是膀胱原位癌(CisB)的一种常用且有效的治疗方法。我们报告一例CisB患者在iBCG治疗后发生ReA的病例。症状通过皮质类固醇完全缓解。停用iBCG,2年内癌症未复发。
ReA是一种无菌性关节炎,通常由泌尿生殖系统或胃肠道感染引发,一般发生在HLA - B27阳性个体中。化脓性关节炎和微晶性关节炎可模仿ReA,必须通过关节穿刺术排除。iBCG治疗的患者中,ReA可被视为一种并发症。
