Susceptibility and HLA-B27 in post-dysenteric arthropathies
1985
A recent outbreak of bacillary dysentery in The Netherlands revealed that, despite the close association of HLA-B27 with post-dysenteric or reactive arthritis (ReA), not even in one family did all HLA-B27 positive patients infected by an arthritogenic bacterium, develop ReA. This dissociation shows that additional factors beside B27 may determine susceptibility to ReA.
