An increased incidence of a specific histocompatibility antigen, HLA-B27, has recently been reported in patients with Reiter's syndrome, although a significant proportion of patients with the characteristic symptom complex are HLA-B27 negative (1).Many organisms have been implicated as the cause of Reiter's syndrome (2). We recently observed a patient with many features of Reiter's syndrome, who was infected withCampylobacter fetus, formerly calledVibrio fetus(3). The organism was cultured from the blood during two separate flares of disease...References1.
