message: It is stated in the article that the name of the condition was changed for two reasons: 1) A trend not to use eponyms and 2) the relation of Reiter to Nazi concentration camp experiments.  The article that suggested the name change in the medical journal Arthritis & Rheumatism only mentioned the 2nd reason, and even more stressed the importance of using eponyms when the physicians live an honourable life (or something of the sort). One of the authors, Engelman, was one of the ones to name the syndrome Reiter's in 1942.  So the first statement is incorrect in this case (and I don't know of a situation where it truly applies, to the regret of many medical students).

replies: text: Not to get sucked into the discussion over who is good or who is not, but based on the Wikipedia naming conventions the Most commonly international name should be the correct and legitimate name. I see this name change was not contested on the grounds that it was emotional, but as an unbiased presentation of facts we have to maintain a neutral point of view and that can only be achieved by consensus. Can we put the name change up to vote instead of just changing it? Also the user who changed the name (the uaser above) has only a few edits and I am not sure has enough experience with the wikipedia to make such a change. Again I would automatically revert a name change of this magnitude but then again a few of the centers like Mayo Clinic have changed the name or adopted a change so we have a conflict between the dominant name, Reiter's and the politically prefered version, reactive arthritis. What do you think? Please reflect here or put up to vote for name change. Dr. Persi (talk) 07:43, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

message: Hey folks. I'm adding some citations where I know them and hopefully will be able to expand the article a bit. It's a pretty good article now, though, and mostly needs some stylistic work. If anyone has suggestions, I'm always happy to hear from people who know more than I do. --George (talk) 17:51, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Reiter syndrome is just one type of reactive arthritis, which consist of the clinical triadehttp://www.aafp.org/afp/1999/0801/p499.htmlof : urethritis, conjunctivitis, arthritis. 
So, Reiter sdr. is included in the nosology of "reactive arthritis", but there is no equality between terms.
Today, Reiter sdr. is a rare condition, vs reactive arthritis, which manifests not a full triade of Reiter sdr.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vldscore (talk • contribs) 17:15, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
