State of the gastroduodenal zone in patients with reactive arthritis

Abstract

Gastroenterology and rheumatology are very closely related disciplines. There is much in common in the occurrence and manifestations of lesions of the gastrointestinal tract in connective tissue diseases [1]. Gastroenterological manifestations of connective tissue diseases is an area of medicine that always forces clinicians not only to face difficult diagnostic tasks, but also requires a thorough, balanced treatment approach [2]. Considering that according to the data of a retrospective analysis it is not possible to comprehensively assess the nature of disorders in the GDD in ReA, it was of some interest to conduct prospective studies in this direction.
