Abstract
Two patients with acute gastroenteritis in whom polyarthritis subsequently developed had positive serologic results for Y. pseudotuberculosis. With resolution of the arthropathy the antibody titers decreased. While the patient without the histocompatibility antigen HLA-B27 had an acute, self-limited arthritis, the patient with this antigen had a more chronic arthritis. Serologic typing and stool culture for Y. pseudotuberculosis should be done in cases of postdysenteric arthritis.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
