Abstract
Currently, the problem of reactive arthritis (ReA) retains its importance due to the fairly high prevalence of the disease, primarily in Russia. Analysis of epidemiological data allows us to put forward a number of possible reasons explaining the different frequency of ReA in certain regions of the Russian Federation and in other countries. The lecture describes the clinical picture of the disease, as well as analyzes the significance of various laboratory techniques aimed at identifying the causative agent of ReA. The Russian diagnostic criteria for ReA are presented. The main approaches to the therapy of ReA are outlined with an emphasis on the use of antimicrobial drugs. The effectiveness and safety of drug immunocorrection (inducers of interferon, polyoxidonium, immunofan, etc.) in the treatment of urogenital chlamydia in patients with ReA have not been confirmed by data from randomized controlled trials.Keywords
