Abstract
Clostridium difficile is an uncommon cause of reactive arthritis in children. We herein present a rare case of C. difficile infection-associated reactive arthritis (CDIAReA) in a child, who developed severe diarrhea and a knee effusion following a course of oral antibiotic treatment. Our report em-phasizes that CDIAReA should be considered in the differential diagnosis of children presenting with acute and painful arthritis that develops in the setting of antibiotic associated diarrhea.
