%X Reactive arthritis is included in the spectrum of seronegative spondyloarthritides, occurring secondary to triggers of genitourinary and gastrointestinal tract infections. We describe two cases of sexually acquired reactive arthritis secondary to genital infection by Chlamydia trachomatis, diagnosed by in-house polymerase chain reaction performed on the first void urine. Both patients were managed with a combined approach of short course antibiotics, immunosuppressive agents, biologicals and surgical intervention.
