Reiter's Syndrome in Children: Case Report and Review of Literature

1. Our experience with a six-year-old boy who had diarrhea, urethritis, conjunctivitis and arthritis is presented as a classical case of Reiter's syndrome. The patient recovered fully in a period of five months and has remained well during the past five years. 2. The cause of Reiter's syndrome remains unknown but in children may be related to Flexner bacillus dysentery. 3. The disease in children is usually less severe than in adults and all 11 children reported have recovered. The recent literature is reviewed. 4. Treatment with antibiotics is of no value and steroid therapy has not prevented exacerbations nor shortened the course of the disease. 5. The nongonococcal triad of urethritis, conjunctivitis, and arthritis is a distinct clinicopathologic entity which differs from known infections and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

Ectopic Pregnancies

Bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancies which are spontaneously conceived are of rare occurrences. Generally, they are diagnosed intra-operatively. There are no guidelines published till date for their management. There has been a reported increase in the incidence of such cases. We present a review of such cases reported over the last two decades and report a similar case which presented to our hospital with acute abdomen and USG suggested hemo-peritoneum with further intraoperative diagnosis of bilateral tubal ectopic managed by left salpingectomy and right salpingostomy

Skin Conditions

A patient presented with skin lesions at sites not contiguous with Crohn's disease of the bowel and with specific histological features of Crohn's disease occurring two weeks from the onset of bowel symptoms. Currently a number of nonspecific skin conditions such as erythema nodosum, pyoderma gangrenosum and erythema multiforme are accepted as being the most common skin manifestations of Crohn's disease. It is likely, however, that specific lesions of Crohn's disease in the skin have been underdiagnosed either because of lack of biopsy or misinterpretation of the histology. Twenty-three cases with specific Crohn's disease in the skin have been recorded in the past 25 years, since the condition has been recognized. Sarcoidosis has been a common misdiagnosis. The literature relating to multicentric Crohn's disease is reviewed and attention drawn to its protean and masquerading features. An argument is made for the use of the term 'multicentric' rather than 'metastatic' in relation to cutaneous Crohn's disease.
