HLA-B27 typing of 103 acute anterior uveitis (AAU) patients showed that 49 (48%) were positive for this antigen. Of these HLA-B27 positive AAU patients, 27 (55%) had ankylosing spondylitis (AS) according to the New York criteria. The 22 HLA-B27 positive AAU patients without AS, however, also showed symptoms and signs of AS. Seventeen (77%) of these 22 HLA-B27 positive AS negative AAU patients fulfilled a set of criteria for classification as possible AS. In the group of 54 HLA-B27 negative AAU patients, only two patients (4%) had AS. Of the remaining 52 patients only seven (13%) had possible AS. Of the 21 patients having posterior uveitis (PU) none was HLA-B27 positive nor met the criteria for AS or possible AS. These findings indicate a strong relationship between AAU, AS or possible AS and HLA-B27 and suggest that HLA-B27 typing in AAU patients is important for early diagnosis of AS.
对103例急性前葡萄膜炎(AAU)患者进行HLA - B27分型,结果显示49例(48%)该抗原呈阳性。在这些HLA - B27阳性的AAU患者中,根据纽约标准,27例(55%)患有强直性脊柱炎(AS)。然而,22例HLA - B27阳性但无AS的AAU患者也表现出AS的症状和体征。这22例HLA - B27阳性但AS阴性的AAU患者中有17例(77%)符合可能为AS的一组分类标准。在54例HLA - B27阴性的AAU患者中,仅有2例(4%)患有AS。其余52例患者中只有7例(13%)可能患有AS。在21例患有后葡萄膜炎(PU)的患者中,无一例HLA - B27呈阳性,也不符合AS或可能为AS的标准。这些发现表明AAU、AS或可能为AS与HLA - B27之间存在密切关系,并提示对AAU患者进行HLA - B27分型对AS的早期诊断很重要。
