Abstract
Reactive arthritis (ReA) belongs to a group of diseases under spondyloarthritis (SpA). It is a systemic disease triggered by an infection at a distant site, other than joint. The infectious triggers are mostly genitourinary, gastrointestinal or respiratory tract. An association has been established between arthritis and micro-organisms like Shigella, Yersinia, Salmonella, Campylobacter and Chlamydia [1]. The role of microbiomes in inflammatory arthritis and autoimmunity has been proposed decades ago. In genetically susceptible patients, infection activates Th17 mediated immune response which causes arthritis and systemic inflammation
