Reiter's syndrome is rare in childhood. The classical triad of conjunctivitis, urethritis and arthritis usually occurs following diarrhea or sexual contact. In this paper, we report a typical case of Reiter's syndrome in a 13-yarold boy who developed the triad about one month after an episode of diarrhea, in addition, mild bilateral asymptomatic anterior uveitis was also found. HLA study showed B27-positive. Synovial fluid examination revealed increased WBC count (7,700/mm^3) will a neutrophile to lymphocyte ratio of 75 to 25, increased protein content and complement levels, and negative RA factor. The patient recovered gradually after the treatment with aspirin for three weeks. The literature was reviewed with regard to the difference in the clinical manifestations and prognosis between children and adults. The definition, etiology and treatment were also discussed.
