“…MAS-COT v2.2 searches were conducted via the Australasian Proteomics Computational Facility with the C. jejuni taxonomy selected. Searches were carried out with a parent ion mass accuracy of 20 ppm and a product ion accuracy of 0.02 Da with no protease specificity and instrument selected as MALDI-QIT-TOF (use of this setting was due to the observation of multiple internal cleavage products and extensive NH 3 and H 2 O loss from a, b, y ions, which are all included within this scoring setting) as well as the fixed modification carbamidomethyl (C) and variable modifications, oxidation (M), deamidation (N), and formylation (N-term). A MASCOT ion score cut-off of 20 was accepted for positive identifications, and all data were searched with the decoy setting activated to generate a zero false positive rate against a decoy data base.…”

“…A few days later, both clinical evaluation and laboratory tests excluded acute ReA because it is a oligoarticular, asymmetrical arthritis that involves knees, ankles or wrists of immunocompetent patients (Bremell et al, 1991;Locht and Krogfelt, 2002;Brzank and Wollenhaupt, 2013) and develops about 10 days after the beginning of enteritis (Keat, 1983;Hannu et al, 2004) (Table 1). In contrast, our patient showed painful swelling and redness in the region of the outer side of the left thigh that developed about 1 day after the enteritis, and a diagnosis of septic arthritis was postulated, and empirical treatment with vancomycin was started with the development of side effects.…”

Introduction: Campylobacter jejuni is the most common cause of human bacterial enteritis in developed countries and is a rare cause of extra-intestinal infections. Case presentation: In this paper, we report a case of septic arthritis related to C. jejuni infection in an immunocompetent 53-year-old man with prosthetic devices who presented to us with enteritis. Following treatment with ciprofloxacin, loperamide hydrochloride and acetaminophen, he developed articular pain with painful swelling and redness in the region of the outer side of the left thigh. A diagnosis of a monoarticular non-migratory manifestation was postulated and vancomycin was started but was stopped 1 day later due to the development of skin erythema, and levofloxacin, teicoplanin and rifampicin treatment was started. An X-ray of the hip excluded dislocation of the prosthesis, while ultrasound showed an abscess in the soft tissue, confirmed by a triphasic bone scan. Aspiration of the joint fluid revealed the presence of moving, curved, Gram-negative bacilli 72 h after incubation, while growth on agar plates and tryptose broth remained negative after 5 days. Reactions for Campylobacter diagnosis were positive, and the micro-organism was identified as C. jejuni. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests revealed a sensitivity for ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, imipenem, tetracycline, erythromycin and gentamicin. Antimicrobial treatment was continued for a further 10 days with complete resolution of symptoms. Conclusion: Clinicians should consider Campylobacter in infections without a history of a travel in the tropics. Antibiotic treatment must be carefully evaluated to take into account the local resistance to avoid clinical failure.

“…En rekke undersøkelser har vist at salmonella [13][14][15] , shigella 16 , yersinia [17][18][19] , kampylobacter [20][21][22][23] og chlamydia trachomatis 4,24,25 er assosiert til reaktiv artritt, og at rundt 10% av de infiserte kan få artritter 26 . Streptokokkutløst revmatisk feber var vanlig tidligere, men er nesten forsvunnet i industrialiserte land, men reaktiv artritt etter streptokokkinfeksjoner kan forekomme 27,28 .…”

Reaktive artritter er artrittsykdommer som forekommer i ledd som konsekvens av infeksjoner et annet sted i kroppen [1][2][3] . Typiske eksempler er chlamydiainduserte artritter og artritter indusert av patogene tarmbakterier 4 . HISTORIKKReiters syndrom er den historisk typiske form for reaktiv artritt. Hans Reiter beskrev i 1916 en kavallerioffiser som utviklet uretritt, konjunktivitt og artritt. Eponymet Reiters syndrom brukes langt mindre enn før 5 og reaktive artritter regnes som en av spondylartropatiene (som ellers omfatter Bekhterevs sykdom, psoriasisartritt og enteropatiske artritter) [6][7][8] . KRITERIERDet finnes ingen etablerte diagnostiske kriterier eller klassifikasjonskriterier når det gjelder reaktive artritter. Det typiske kliniske bildet består av en artrittform som kan vaere oligoartikulaer eller monoartikulaer, men en sjelden gang også polyartikulaer 4,9-11 . Ved revmatoid artritt er det vanligvis affeksjon av småledd i hender, men disse leddene er sjelden affisert ved reaktive artritter 12 . Mer vanlig er affeksjon av knaer, ankler, hånd-ledd og taernes grunnledd 4,9,10 . HVILKE INFEKSJONER ER ASSOSIERT MED REAKTIV ARTRITT?En rekke undersøkelser har vist at salmonella [13][14][15] INSIDENS OG PREVALENSNorske undersøkelser har vist at insidensen av reaktiv artritt er på samme nivå som revmatoid artritt hos unge mennesker 10 . Hos mennesker over 50 år er revmatoid artritt langt vanligere enn reaktiv artritt. En svensk undersøkelse av ulike typer av artritter viste også insidens av reaktiv artritt på samme nivå som revmatoid artritt 34 , og en finsk undersøkelse peker i samme retning 35 . En norsk undersøkelse viste at chlamydiaindusert artritt var omtrent like hyppig som artritter indusert av enterobakterier (yersinia, salmonella, campylobacter) 10 . Insidensen av andre artritter som er assosiert til mikrober (borrelia, streptokokker, chlamydia pneumonia) er ukjent. Prevalensen av reaktiv artritt er lav fordi de fleste pasienter går i remisjon 9 . PROGNOSEPrognosen er god, men noen pasienter utvikler kronisk sykdom. De fleste av disse vil utvikle et Bektherevlignende syndrom og risikoen for kronisitet er i noen undersøkelser assosiert til tilstedevaerelse av vevstypeantigenet HLA-B27 1 . FORSKNINGSAGENDADet er viktig å få en klarere forståelse av de mekanismer som gjør at noen pasienter utvikler kronisk sykdom. Det ser ikke ut til at langvarig antibiotikabehandling påvirker forløpet 11 , og mer kunnskap trengs om behandling. Man kan tenke seg at pasienter med selvbegrenset artritt uten at man påviser utløsende infeksjon har en uidentifisert triggende infeksjon 4 . Selvbegrenset artritt kan altså dreie seg om en form for reaktiv artritt med uidentifisert triggende mikrobe.
