Abstract
- Reactive arthritis occurs after a preceding infection such as urogenital or gastroenteral tract infection. Trichomoniasis, due to Trichomonas vasinalis infection, is one of the most common causes of vaginitis. Reactive arthritis associated with trichomoniasis is uncommon and there has been no report in Korea. We present a 28 year-old woman who had oligoarthritis after Trichomonas vaginalis infection. The arthritis subsided with treatment of the Trichomoniasis with metronidazole and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.
