10 Signs of Food Poisoning
Food Poisoning Sign #10: Reactive Arthritis
Reactive arthritis refers to an inflammatory condition that affects the joints. This happens due to response to an infection which occurred in another part of the body. Reactive arthritis can be triggered when an individual develops an infection. In most cases, when the affected individual presents with symptoms of reactive arthritis, the initial infection that triggers reactive arthritis has resolved.
Patients with reactive arthritis often have inflammatory arthritis, conjunctivitis or uveitis, and cervicitis in women or urethritis in men. Food poisoning can cause reactive arthritis when it is caused by Yersinia, Shigella, Campylobacter, or Salmonella infections.
