Arthritis and Venereal Urethritis

Arthritis and venereal urethritis.

The clinical course of arthritis associated with venereal urethritis was clearly defined before 1900.

It is evident that cases of Reiter's syndrome, sometimes with co-existing gonococcal urethritis, have been included in series from which deductions concerning the clinical picture of gonococcal a...
