Reactive arthritis are definied as steriles arthropathies using classic bacteriological techniques. They are due to extra articular infection and are often associated with HLA B27. ⋯ Several current works have underlined the interest of antibiotic therapy in the chlamydial reactive arthritis. Chronic forms can justify the use of anti-rheumatic drugs such as salazopyrine.

Comparative Study[The immediate effect of Rashkind's atrioseptostomy on systemic saturation in transposition of the great arteries].
The purpose of this prospective study is to analyse the immediate effect of Rashkind's atrioseptostomy on systemic saturation in transposition of the great arteries (TGA). Thirteen neonates and infants (10 males and 3 females) with TCiA underwent balloon atrial septostomy (BAS) at a median age of 20 days (range 2 and 60 days). ⋯ The right ventricular saturation increased from 37 +/- 17% to 67 +/- 13% (p < 0.001). There was no correlation between the atrial septal defect diameter and the increase of systemic saturation after BAS.
