Circinate mucositis and keratoderma blennorrhagicum of reactive arthritis.

Abstract

Reactive arthritis (ReA) is a syndrome characterized by a triad of arthritis, conjunctivitis, and urethritis with specific skin manifestations in the form of circinate balanitis and keratoderma blennorrhagicum. The entity has been linked to HLA‐B27 and has either a preceding diarrheal illness or venereal urethritis caused by Chlamydiae trachomatis. We report a case of ReA with circinate balanitis and keratoderma blennorrhagicum, also associated with circinate oral mucositis.
