TI  - A case of post-streptococcal reactive arthritis in which lesions were detected 
      with [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-CT imaging and 
      magnetic resonance imaging.

AB  - A 55-year-old man with lumbago and polyarthralgia was admitted to our hospital. 
      Laboratory data showed elevated levels of anti-streptolysin O and C-reactive 
      protein. Throat swab culture revealed beta-hemolytic streptococcal infection. 
      Magnetic resonance imaging detected effusion of the lumbar bone and the left hip 
      joint. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) demonstrated 
      increased fluorodeoxyglucose activity in the bilateral shoulder and hip joints 
      and the interspinal ligament between L2 and L3. He was diagnosed as having 
      post-streptococcal reactive arthritis (PSReA) and treated with amoxicillin 
      hydrate. Polyarthralgia improved and did not relapse. To our knowledge, no 
      results of PET-CT have previously been reported in patients with PSReA. We 
      propose that PET-CT might be a useful tool for diagnosing PSReA.
