With the gene mutation, your son is at risk for reactive arthritis, and knees are often affected. As to whether it will become long-term is always a question.
There I not a lot of literature about reactive arthritis, but it is covered in this article, about 2/3 or the way down.

Has he seen a rheumatologist experienced with spondylitis or spondlyoarthropathy? This is an uncommon subset of arthritis and not every doc is familiar with treating it.
The good news is that ther are now some biological available if I doesn't resolve in time.

I do see that a lot of doctors do not usually diagnose this but they suspected reactive arthritis from the beginning. They ran all the lab tests to rule out sepsis or another type of bacteria infection. He had a good team of doctors. We are 3 weeks into this diagnose. I just hope and pray it is not long term.
