However, sacroiliitis on X-ray was less prevalent in the HLA-B27 positive group (65.7 vs. 81.1%), reflecting the fact that HLA-B27 negative patients have to fulfil the imaging arm to classify as SpA according to the ASAS axial criteria while HLA-B27 positive patients may fulfil the ...
Acute anterior uveitis (AAU) associated with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) B27 is the most common form of noninfectious intraocular inflammation and is considered to be aseparate clinical entity. Young adults between the ages of20 and40 years are predominantly affected. The HLA-B27 positive AAU ...

In this report, a paraparetic patient who has ochronotic spondiloarthropathy with the presence of HLA B27 antigen is described. He had low back and leg pain and morning stiffness for 5 yrs. Last year, these were followed by tingling, numbness, and weakness the in lower extremities and he...
Patients had a short duration of axial symptoms (mean 1.5 years) and HLA-B27 was present in 61.5%. In multivariate analysis, HLA-B27 positivity was associated with a younger age at onset of IBP (regression coefficient (B)=(−2.60), p<0.001), less delay in diagnosis (B=(−1.02), ...
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 25.0 (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL). Data are presented as means with standard deviations. Results We reviewed the records of 311 HIV-positive patients who attended the Infectious Diseases Clinic of Samsun Training and Research Hospital ...
We studied the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) isoenzymes (CuZnSOD, cyanide-resistant Mn-SOD and extracellular SOD), the concentration of plasma selenium (P-Se), and the activities of CuZn-SOD and glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) in erythrocytes of 10 HLA-B27-positive and 10 HLA-B27-ne...
(1987, EMBO J. 6:1673-1676) generated transgenic mice that showed cell surface expression of HLA-B27 antigen biochemically indistinguishable from HLA-B27 in human cells by crossing one strain of transgenic mice carrying the HLA-B27 heavy chain gene with mice carrying the transgenic β2...
Prevalence of spondylarthropathies in HLA-B27 positive and negative blood donors Conclusion With a calculated prevalence of 1.9%, spondylarthropathies are among the most frequent rheumatic diseases in the white population. HLA-B27 positive persons carry a 20-fold increased risk of developing SpA....
