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.
