[HL-A B27 associated rheumatic disease].

P Truog, U Steiger, G Loewi

    Schweizerische Medizinische Wochenschrift
    |December 13, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    This report details a female patient with Human Leukocyte Antigen B27 (HLA-B27) who presented with cardiac issues and arthritis, despite lacking typical spinal involvement. It suggests expanding the concept of HLA-B27 associated diseases to include seronegative rheumatic conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Immunogenetics
    • Cardiology

    Context:

    • Human Leukocyte Antigen B27 (HLA-B27) is a genetic marker associated with several inflammatory conditions.
    • Ankylosing spondylitis, Reiter's disease, and acute anterior uveitis are known HLA-B27 associated diseases.
    • Cardiac involvement is an occasional manifestation in these conditions.

    Purpose:

    • To report a case of a female patient with HLA-B27.
    • To describe the patient's presentation of cardiac lesions, peripheral arthritis, and acute anterior uveitis.
    • To discuss the absence of typical spinal or sacroiliac joint involvement.

    Summary:

    • A female patient positive for HLA-B27 exhibited cardiac lesions, peripheral arthritis, and acute anterior uveitis.
    • The patient showed no clinical or radiological signs of sacroiliac joint or spine involvement, which are characteristic of ankylosing spondylitis.
    • This case challenges the traditional understanding of HLA-B27 associated diseases.

    Impact:

    • Suggests a broader definition of "HLA-B27 associated disease" beyond classic spondyloarthropathies.
    • Highlights the potential for cardiac manifestations in HLA-B27 positive individuals without overt spondylitis.
    • May influence diagnostic criteria and research into seronegative rheumatic diseases.
