Several studies have failed to show an association between Shigella sonnei dysentery and reactive arthritis. We describe 3 patients who had reactive arthritis and a recent or concurrent S sonnei infection. To our knowledge, this is only the second study to suggest this association. We propose that S sonnei should be considered as a triggering agent for reactive arthritis.

D004405	Dysentery, Bacillary	DYSENTERY caused by gram-negative rod-shaped enteric bacteria (ENTEROBACTERIACEAE), most often by the genus SHIGELLA. Shigella dysentery, Shigellosis, is classified into subgroups according to syndrome severity and the infectious species. Group A: SHIGELLA DYSENTERIAE (severest); Group B: SHIGELLA FLEXNERI; Group C: SHIGELLA BOYDII; and Group D: SHIGELLA SONNEI (mildest).

D012189	Retrospective Studies	Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
