Reiter's syndrome (reactive arthritis) should always prompt a thorough clinical investigation of a potentially more serious disease condition in every pediatric patient and adults. It should always be regarded as a warning sign and not a disease. This is a case of a 16‐year‐old African boy with osteomyelitis presenting with symptoms of reactive arthritis (Reiter's syndrome).
