Most people with reactive arthritis recover fully from the first flare of symptoms and can return to regular activities two to six months later. Some people will have long-term, mild arthritis. A few patients will have long-term, severe arthritis that is difficult to control with treatment and may cause joint damage.
This type of arthritis is a reaction to that infection and so is called reactive arthritis (see Reactive Arthritis). In reactive arthritis, the joint is inflamed but not actually infected. Chronic infectious arthritis is usually caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (the main cause of tuberculosis), fungi, or bacteria. This type of infectious arthritis begins gradually over several weeks. It accounts for 5% of infectious arthritis and most often affects people who are at high risk.
