Enteropathic arthropathy
Enteropathic arthropathy or enteropathic arthritis refers to acute or subacute arthritis in association with, or as a reaction to, an enteric (usually colonic) inflammatory condition.[1][2][3][4]
Causes and associations
- Reactive arthritis (Reactive to enteric infection)
- Spondyloarthropathies associated with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis)
- Malabsorption related:
- Intestinal bypass (jejunoileal)
- Celiac disease
- Whipple's disease
Note that reactive arthritis can also occur secondary to urethral infection. In that case, the term enteropathic arthropathy would not be used.
gollark: Heavily compressed and minus revision history/user pages/talk pages, yes.
gollark: Wikipedia is only 85GB or so, so I'd still have room for other stuff. 15GB if I don't need images, actually.
gollark: I'm also getting a 128GB micro-SD card so I can save a copy of Wikipedia in case I get bored and don't have an internet connection.
gollark: See, I've been at home for basically three months so my laptop and occasionally bad 2015 tablet work for most stuff, *but* next week we're apparently going to "Beadnel" so I need a usable phone for that.
gollark: ... no.
