Reactive arthritis most commonly occurs between the ages of 20 and 40. Men are much more likely than women to develop reactive arthritis associated with
sexually transmitted infections (chlamydia or gonorrhea). With foodborne infections, reactive arthritis is equally common in men and women. Reactive
arthritis caused by other infections (brucellosis, toxoplasmosis, Epstein Bar virus) can manifest itself at the time of acute infection and in the long-term periods of the chronic state of infection.
