Title: HL-A as a diagnostic aid in incomplete rheumatic syndromes. Author: Nahir AM, Scharf Y, Gidoni O, Barzilai A. Journal: Rheumatol Rehabil; 1977 May; 16(2):92-4. PubMed ID: 866907. Abstract: Incomplete Reiter's syndrome (ICRS) and incomplete Behçet's disease (ICBD) have many similar clinical features, making the diagnosis difficult. The association of RS and BD with different HL-A antigens is a help in differentiating between the two diseases. Eight patients with incomplete rheumatic syndrome are described. The results of HL-A typing suggest that five patients had incomplete RS and the other three incomplete BD. The value of tissue typing in the correct diagnosis of incomplete rheumatic syndrome is stressed.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
