 AB    Reactive arthritis is common in HIV-positive patients and may be
       mistaken for septic arthritis. We feel that the association is probably,
       in part, due to the increased incidence of diarrhoeal diseases in
       HIV-infected patients rather than a specific effect of HIV on the
       synovium. Disabling, chronic, sero-negative polyarthritis is common in
       the later stages of HIV infection and further palliative therapeutic
       strategies are urgently needed.
