Treatment of Reactive Arthritis in Anterior Uveitis

Clinical scenario

This protocol addresses reactive arthritis (ReA) in the setting of anterior uveitis — a severe manifestation of ReA, second only to conjunctivitis in frequency, occurring in approximately 12% of patients with reactive arthritis.

Anterior uveitis as a key comorbidity

Anterior uveitis represents a serious extra-articular involvement in ReA. Its severity and recurrent nature require dedicated therapeutic consideration, particularly when standard measures prove insufficient.

Treatment approach

For recurrent uveitis in reactive arthritis that has not responded adequately to other therapies, an anti-TNF biologic approach is used — the full protocol specifies the clinical criteria, agent selection, and monitoring framework.
