Reactive arthritis (ReA) is an immune-mediated aseptic synovitis resulting either from genitourinary or gastrointestinal tract, commonly presenting as oligoarthritis of the lower limbs and rarely urethritis and conjunctivitis. The treatment options include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, and biologics in severe cases. We report successful use of secukinumab in two cases of chronic severe ReA who initially failed to treatment with tumour necrosis factor inhibitor.
