ABSTRACT

Introduction: there is currently debate about whether post-streptococcal reactive arthritis is a separate entity or condition in the spectrum of acute rheumatic fever.
Objective: to review the existing literature on the topic post-streptococcal reactive arthritis.
Development: a bibliographic search was carried out in Medline, Pubmed, Scielo and Dialnet, searching as keywords: arthritis and post-streptococcal reactive arthritis. In addition to the computerized search, a manual search was carried out. These databases collect the most important publications in the scientific field of medicine. The search was conducted in April 2018, and ran from 1989 to the present. We use the Reference Manager program, version 12, to create a database with publications, categorize them and filter them according to their relevance to our study. A total of 45 documents were collected, of which about 30 were discarded, due to their level of generalization and lack of specificity in the topic addressed.
Conclusions: the classic signs of swelling, erythema, heat and pain are present, with pain being the most important, it is present at rest and increases with movements. As in RF, post-streptococcal arthritis is a reactive arthritis characterized by a pharyngeal-streptococcal infection, a free interval and subsequent aseptic inflammation in one or more joints.
