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

Note that reactive arthritis can also occur secondary to urethral infection. In that case, the term enteropathic arthropathy would not be used.
