We have used ozone therapy, like part of the treatment, of 30 patients suffering from reactive arthritis, in the last three years. No significant difference in sex distribution were present, with predominance in ages less than 45 years. Patients with reactive polyarthritis and Reiter Syndrome were included in our study. In 55 % of patients, reactive arthritis was consequence of upper respiratory sepsis. The clinical evaluation was satisfactory, with a fast improvement and without side-effects.
