We report 9 cases of a recently described syndrome: subacute oedematous polyarthritis of the elderly. The condition is characterized by its sudden onset and by the presence of important oedema of the four limbs, symmetrical polyarthritis, marked inflammatory syndrome and negative serological test for the rheumatoid factor. Men are predominantly affected, and many of them are carrying the HLA B7 antigen. The illness subsides within a few months without sequelae. It seems that this syndrome should be clearly distinguished from late onset rheumatoid arthritis and polymyalgia rheumatica.
我们报告了9例最近描述的综合征：老年人亚急性水肿性多关节炎。该病症的特点是突然起病，伴有四肢明显水肿、对称性多关节炎、显著的炎症综合征以及类风湿因子血清学检测阴性。男性受影响为主，其中许多人携带HLA B7抗原。该病在数月内消退，无后遗症。看来这种综合征应与迟发性类风湿关节炎和风湿性多肌痛明确区分开来。
