| an outbreak of campylobacter enteritis--a rheumatological followup survey. | one hundred and thirty individuals with bacteriologically proven campylobacter jejuni enteric infection in a single outbreak were studied. eighty-eight patients had gastrointestinal symptoms. one probable example of reactive arthritis was found. this is a frequency similar to that found in other comparable series of salmonella typhimurium and shigella flexneri infections, suggesting a common pathogenesis for the reactive arthritis associated with these 3 infections. | 1983 | 6842468 |
| reiter's syndrome following epidemic shigellosis. | to define the epidemiology of post-dysenteric reiter's syndrome (rs), 1,162 persons were questioned about compatible symptoms soon after 3 separate outbreaks of shigellosis. we diagnosed rs for 3 women of 204 persons ill during an outbreak of shigella flexneri 1b, for 3 women of 206 ill during an outbreak of s. flexneri 2a, and for none of 85 ill during an outbreak of s. sonnei. we found no rs among 667 persons without diarrhea. prospective controlled investigations in defined populations docume ... | 1981 | 6948959 |
