A fоrmаl аgreement thаt creates a new оrganizatiоn from two existing organizations is:
Reаctive Arthritis (Reiter Syndrоme) Bаckgrоund An HLA-B27–аssоciated seronegative spondyloarthropathy. Occurs 1–4 weeks after an infection, most commonly: Genitourinary: Chlamydia trachomatis Gastrointestinal: Shigella, Salmonella, Yersinia, Campylobacter Classically described by the triad: “Can’t see, can’t pee, can’t climb a tree”. Symptoms Asymmetric oligoarthritis, usually of the lower extremities. Conjunctivitis / anterior uveitis. Urethritis or cervicitis. May also have: enthesitis (heel pain, Achilles tendon), dactylitis (“sausage digits”), mucocutaneous lesions (balanitis, oral ulcers, keratoderma blennorrhagicum). Physical Exam Findings Warm, swollen, tender joints (knees, ankles, feet). Conjunctival injection, anterior uveitis on eye exam. Urethral discharge or dysuria. Skin lesions on palms/soles (keratoderma). Making the Diagnosis Clinical diagnosis based on recent infection + characteristic triad. No single diagnostic test. Labs: nonspecific (↑ESR/CRP), HLA-B27 often positive. Synovial fluid: sterile, inflammatory (helps distinguish from septic arthritis). Management Treat underlying infection: e.g., doxycycline or azithromycin for Chlamydia. Symptom control: NSAIDs first-line. Refractory disease: sulfasalazine, methotrexate, or biologics (TNF inhibitors). Corticosteroid injections for persistent mono/oligoarthritis. Usually self-limited, but chronic/recurrent disease can occur. Question A 27-year-old man presents with 2 weeks of left knee pain and swelling. He reports pain and redness in his right eye and burning with urination. One month ago, he was treated for watery diarrhea after a camping trip. On exam, the left knee is swollen and tender with a small effusion, and the conjunctiva of the right eye is injected. Laboratory studies show elevated ESR and CRP. Arthrocentesis reveals sterile inflammatory synovial fluid. Which of the following is the most appropriate initial management?
