Abstract
In the Reiter syndrome apart from the symptomatology on the part of the urogenital tract, the changes of eyes and joints a series of further diagnostically important participations of organs appear. In most cases is at the beginning an intestinal infection which, after characteristic latency periods, is followed by urethritis, arthritis and changes of the eyes. Characteristic is further an affection of skin and mucous membrane; facultatively a participation of the heart appears. Different types of course render the diagnosis difficult. The investigation for the occurrence of HL-A 27 is useful.Keywords
