AB Reactive  polyarthritis  develops  several  weeks  after  ~1%  of  cases  of  nongonococcal  urethritis  and  2%  of  enteric  infections,  particularly  those  due  to  Yersinia  enterocolitica,  Shigella  flexneri,  Campylobacter  jejuni,  and  Salmonella  species.  Only  a  minority  of  these  patients  have  the  other  findings  of  classic  reactive  arthritis,  including  urethritis,  conjunctivitis,  uveitis,  oral  ulcers,  and  rash.  Studies  have  identified  microbial  DNA  or  antigen  in  synovial  fluid  or  blood,  but  the  pathogenesis  of  this  condition  is  poorly  understood.
