Abstract
We report the case of a 25 year-old man presenting Reiter's syndrome (urethritis, conjunctivitis and oligoarthritis). This clinical triad is a particular expression of reactive arthritis. A genital or enteric infection can be responsible for the onset. Presence of HLA B27 histocompatibility antigen is a genetic factor favoring the development of Reiter's syndrome. Many organs or systems can be affected. In addition to eradication of the initiating infection, treatment is mainly symptomatic and management is multidisciplinary.
