  BACKGROUND: Arthralgia is a common presentation to general practice, and many cases will not require any specific treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Serologic testing is the most effective way to establish the diagnosis of viral arthritis when a viral infection is suspected—or to pin down the cause of arthritis or arthralgia of unknown origin regardless. [verywell.com]

  It is also important to note the difference between arthralgia and arthritis. Arthralgia is joint pain and it is a common symptom of many viral infections. [healthhype.com]

  Indeed, migratory polyarthritis is one of the five major manifestations of rheumatic fever (Table 6), whose diagnostic criteria (the Jones criteria) have been updated in 1992 ( 5 ). [antimicrobe.org]

• Lethargy

  However, many people have symptoms that may be flitting and transient before becoming permanent, with a general feeling of non-specific illness (flu–like), depression and lethargy. [nras.org.uk]

  Symptoms common to all alphavirus infections include rhinorrhoea, sore throat, marked lethargy and backache. [antimicrobe.org]

• Chlamydia

  Most often, these bacteria are in the genitals ( Chlamydia trachomatis) or the bowel ( Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella and Yersinia ). Chlamydia most often transmits by sex. [rheumatology.org]

  Therefore, a high suspicion for Chlamydia at the background is relevant for the diagnosis of reactive arthritis with tests to detect of Chlamydia trachomatis in the urogenital tract. [antimicrobe.org]

  (caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis). [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]

  However, some studies suggest that long-term treatment with antibiotics may help to reduce the length of the arthritis in some cases, particularly if chlamydia is the triggering infection. [patient.info]

• HLA-B27

  Having the HLA-B27 gene could also make you more likely to have further episodes of reactive arthritis in the future. [arthritisresearchuk.org]

  It is thought that HLA-B27 may affect the elimination of the infecting bacteria or an individual’s immune response. [1] HLA-B27 has been shown to be a predisposing factor in one-half to over two-thirds of individuals with reactive arthritis. [8,1] While [about-reactive-arthritis.com]

  Some patients with reactive arthritis carry a gene called HLA-B27. Patients who test positive for HLA-B27 often have a more sudden and severe onset of symptoms. They also are more likely to have chronic (long-lasting) symptoms. [rheumatology.org]

  The role of HLA-B27 in this process has been discussed, and the favorite hypothesis is a cross-reaction between microbial structures and HLA-B27, or that HLA-B27 itself might be a target of immune response. [antimicrobe.org]

  The frequency of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)–B27 in HIV-infected patients who have reactive arthritis is the same as that in patients who have reactive arthritis without HIV infection. [emedicine.medscape.com]
