摘      要：Spondyloarthropathies （SpAs） include five categories： ankyloslng spondyllns （AS）, reactive arthritis （ReA）,psoriatic arthritis （PsA）, enteropathic arthritis （EA） and undifferentiated spondyloarthropathy （USpA）.2 ReA is an aseptic arthritis occurring after extra-articular infections, particularly genitourinary （GU） or gastrointestinal （GI） tracts. When arthritis is accompanied by conjunctivitis and urethritis, the diagnosis of Reiter syndrome will be suitable for this clinical triad; however, the term ＂ReA＂ has been proposed to substitute for Reiter syndrome.
