Post-COVID-19 arthritis: viral arthritis, not reactive arthritis

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Arthritis following SARS-CoV-2 infection or vaccination is frequently labelled as reactive arthritis (ReA) in published case reports. However, these cases are more accurately classified as ‘viral arthritis’ based on rheumatologic and virological evidence. This misclassification suggests a persistent knowledge gap in classification and understanding.
