Postdysenteric arthropathy - what does this mean
Postdysenteric arthropathy is a rare condition caused by an infection with certain types of bacteria, such as shigella, salmonella, or campylobacter. it is characterized by inflammation of the joints and can occur weeks to months after the infection has resolved. symptoms include pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints. it may also cause fever, fatigue, and weight loss.
What happens during the disease - postdysenteric arthropathy
Postdysenteric arthropathy is an inflammatory joint disorder caused by an infection of the gastrointestinal tract with shigella dysenteriae bacteria. the bacteria release toxins that damage the joints and cause an inflammatory response. this leads to swelling, pain, and stiffness in the joints, as well as a decrease in mobility. in some cases, the inflammation can lead to tissue and cartilage damage, resulting in permanent disability.
