Özet

Reactive arthritis is a seronegative, HLA-B27-linked spondyloarthropathy which occurs as a result of a pathogen, often of gastrointestinal or genitourinary origin, and triggers a cell-mediated immune response. In this article, we present a 64-year-old male case who developed reactive arthritis with fever and asymmetric oligoarthritis following treatment with intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) for bladder carcinoma.
