Case Reports - Reiter's disease in a six-year-old girl
Arora Sandeep, Arora Gulhima
Abstract
Reiter′s syndrome has characteristically been described in young males and presents with a triad of urethritis, conjunctivitis and arthritis. Reiter′s syndrome has been known to affect children, although they usually do not manifest with the typical triad. Only a few such cases have been reported and these have described males predominantly. A case of a six-year-old girl who presented with watery diarrhea, redness of eyes and joint pains followed by skin involvement is reported. She was managed with topical salicylic acid and hydrocortisone, and oral aspirin and showed complete resolution of her clinical features in three weeks.
