Brief Summary: Reactive arthritis, also known as Reiter's syndrome, is a form of arthritis that occurs as a reaction to an infection elsewhere in the body. It is characterized by inflammation of the joints, tendons, urogenital tract, and eyes. Pain and swelling in the knees, ankles, and feet are common.
