Reactive arthritis is caused by bacteria. The bacteria cause a person to get sick, and then later travel through the body to the joints between bones. The joints swell and become stiff and painful. This is called inflammation.
Reactive arthritis most often affects the joints of the knees, ankles or toes.
It can also affect the eyes or skin or muscles. When it affects areas besides the joints, reactive arthritis is then called Reiter's (pronounced rIt-erz) syndrome.
