Reports of polymyalgia rheumatica and temporal arteritis in blacks are rare. We analyzed five cases of polymyalgia rheumatica and one case of temporal arteritis appearing in blacks. Polymyalgia rheumatica and temporal arteritis in blacks have the same presentation, course, and response to treatment as in Caucasians. A previously unrecorded case of polymyalgia rheumatica and biopsy-proven temporal arteritis in a black had a similar presentation and course as cases in whites. HLA typing of five cases of polymyalgia rheumatica in blacks revealed an increased incidence of AW30 and BW16 in comparison to whites and polymyalgia.
黑人多肌痛和颞动脉炎的报告很少见。我们分析了5例黑人多肌痛病例和1例黑人颞动脉炎病例。黑人的多肌痛和颞动脉炎与白种人的临床表现、病程及对治疗的反应相同。1例先前未记录的黑人多肌痛且经活检证实的颞动脉炎病例，其临床表现和病程与白人病例相似。对5例黑人多肌痛病例进行HLA分型显示，与白人和多肌痛患者相比，AW30和BW16的发生率有所增加。
