Abstract
Sacroiliitis can be demonstrated radiologically in over 1/3 of patients with chronic Reiter''s syndrome. A bone scan technique with digital analysis which will quantitatively assess the sacroiliac joints was used and abnormalities in 24 of 33 patients with acute Reiter''s syndrome were found. Sarcoiliitis is apparently a common feature in patients with early Reiter''s syndrome. While in most patients it resolves with resolution of disease activity, in some it may persist with the development of overt radiological changes.
