Abstract
A 36-year-old HLA B 27 positive woman developed reactive type arthritis a week after enterocolitis. Stool culture and serological tests indicated Campylobacter jejuni infection. Serological evidence of previous Chlamydial infection was also obtained. The arthritis ran a benign course of 6 months, leaving no residual symptoms.
