[HL-A-B 27 in Reiter's disease with special reference to oligosymptomatic course forms]. 1977

C E Lange, and N Müller

In 21 patients with the clinical suspicion of oligosymptomatic R.S.), 21 patients with the clinical suspicion of oligosymptomatic R.S. and 16 patients with recurrent non-gonococcal urethritis 23 HLA-antigens were assessed using a lymphocyte toxicity test. 413 blood donors served as a controll group. 85,7% of the patients with R.S. had phenotyp HLA-B 27 compared with 7,4% of the controll persons. The group with the suspicion of R.S. exhibited with 57,1% a marked increased incidense of HLA-B 27 as well. Compared to this, the HLA-B 27 frequency in the patients with recurrent non-gonococcal urethritis was with 6,3% in especially of its oligosymptomatic courses. Because of the close association between HLA-B 27 and R.S. determination of histocompatibility antigens proved to be a valuable tool in the diagnosis of Reiter's disease, especially of its oligosymptomatic courses.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules.
