  Reactive arthritis may also follow enteric infections with some strains of Salmonella or Shigella, but use of antibiotics in these patients has not been shown to be effective. […] Treatment with doxycycline or its analogs sometimes shortens the course or aborts the onset of the arthritis. […] When Chlamydia is the suspected causative agent, patients may be given doxycycline or an analog for up to three months, but the optimal duration of therapy is unknown. […] In another study of patients with reactive arthritis following a recurrent episode of urethritis, erythromycin or tetracycline therapy limited recurrences to 10 percent, in contrast to a recurrence rate of 37 percent in those who were untreated or who were given penicillin. […] In contrast, data on the use of antibiotics following enteric infections are not encouraging. Following Salmonella enteritidis infections among a group of radiologists who were attending a meeting in Sweden, reactive arthritis was no less common or of shorter duration in patients who were treated with antibiotics at an early stage of the Salmonella infection. […] In patients with persistent symptoms, sulfasalazine (Azulfidine) in dosages of 1 to 3 g daily, has been useful. […] Testing for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is mandatory in patients with persistent symptoms.

  There is a debate whether post-streptococcal reactive arthritis (PSRA) is a separate entity or a condition on the spectrum of acute rheumatic fever (ARF). […] The important implication of these findings may relate to the issue of prophylactic antibiotics after PSRA. However, future trials will be necessary to conclusively answer that question. […] The 2009, American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Statement recommends that patients with PSRA should be observed carefully for several months for clinical evidence of carditis. They suggest that secondary prophylaxis be given for up to one year after the onset of symptoms and discontinued if there is no evidence of carditis. If valvular disease is detected, the patient should be classified as having had ARF and should continue to receive secondary prophylaxis. However, the effectiveness of this strategy is not well established.

[…] Prevention of rheumatic fever relies on prompt diagnosis and antibiotic treatment (the recommended antibiotic is penicillin) of streptococcal throat infection in healthy children. […] 2.5 Can it be treated/cured? Rheumatic fever is an important health problem in certain areas of the world, but it can be prevented by treating streptococcal pharyngitis as soon as it is recognized (i.e. primary prevention). Antibiotic therapy started within 9 days of onset of pharyngitis is effective in preventing acute rheumatic fever. […] 2.8 How long should secondary prevention last? The risk of relapse is higher during the 3-5 years after onset and the risk of developing carditis damage increases with new flares. During this time, regular antibiotics treatment for preventing new streptococcal infections is recommended for all patients who have had rheumatic fever, regardless of the severity, as mild forms may flare as well.

It is not yet established whether carditis is a late sequela of PSRA and if antibiotic prophylaxis should be given to PSRA patients. With the current low level of evidence supporting prophylaxis in PSRA, further studies in the form of a randomized placebo controlled trial, are required.
