A member asked:
I have health issues diagnosed as reactive arthritis and autoimmune disease. is there a way (any test) to determine if it is a complication because i contracted salmonella several months ago? thanks?

It is the diagnosis itself that is confirming as reactive arthritis has been linked to Salmonella infections. Clarify with your rheumatologist, majority of patients recover in few months following the infection.
