sulfasalazine and Arthritis, Reactive

sulfasalazine has been researched along with Arthritis, Reactive in 34 studies

Sulfasalazine: A drug that is used in the management of inflammatory bowel diseases. Its activity is generally considered to lie in its metabolic breakdown product, 5-aminosalicylic acid (see MESALAMINE) released in the colon. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p907)
sulfasalazine : An azobenzene consisting of diphenyldiazene having a carboxy substituent at the 4-position, a hydroxy substituent at the 3-position and a 2-pyridylaminosulphonyl substituent at the 4'-position.

Arthritis, Reactive: An aseptic, inflammatory arthritis developing secondary to a primary extra-articular infection, most typically of the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT or UROGENITAL SYSTEM. The initiating trigger pathogens are usually SHIGELLA; SALMONELLA; YERSINIA; CAMPYLOBACTER; or CHLAMYDIA TRACHOMATIS. Reactive arthritis is strongly associated with HLA-B27 ANTIGEN.

" All available evidence indicates that short term antibacterial treatment has no effect on the prognosis and final outcome of ReA, and the results with long term administration of antibacterials are also overall poor."2.41Bacteria-Triggered reactive arthritis: implications for antibacterial treatment. ( Toivanen, A, 2001)
"Since reactive arthritis is induced by specific urogenital or enterogenic bacteriae, and since the gut is implicated in different forms of spondyloarthropathies, especially in IBD, it was clear that the gut could play an important role by permitting exogenous factors to enter the body."2.39The role of gut inflammation in the pathogenesis of spondyloarthropathies. ( Cuvelier, C; De Vos, M; Mielants, H; Veys, EM, 1996)
