  • Title: [B27-positive diseases. A new concept in rheumatology (author's transl)].
    Author: Schattenkirchner M, Krüger K, Herzer P.
    Journal: MMW Munch Med Wochenschr; 1980 Nov 28; 122(48):1725-8. PubMed ID: 6779137.
    Abstract:
    In a large number of rheumatoid factor-negative arthritic conditions there is a number of diseases which are characterized by common clinical manifestations and the genetic property of the presence of B27. The term "B27-positive diseases" is based on a concept arising from intensive nosological studies and provides important suggestions for the study of the pathogenesis of a group of rheumatic diseases in that it emphasizes the significance of a genetic predisposition and makes an infectious etiology probable.
