The distribution of class I and class II HLA antigens of 100 Turkish patients with rheumatic fever, 77 of whom had cardiac involvement, was examined. We compared the results with a control group of identical origin. The frequency of HLA A10 and HLA B35 antigens were found significantly higher in patients with rheumatic fever (p < 0.05, p < 0.01, respectively). The frequency of HLA A10 and HLA DRw11 in patients with cardiac involvement were significantly higher than in those without cardiac involvement (p < 0.05, p < 0.01, respectively). On the other hand, HLA Cw2 antigen frequency was found significantly higher in patients without cardiac involvement than in those with rheumatic heart disease (p < 0.05). We support the concept that rheumatic fever is an immunological reaction to group A, beta hemolytic streptococci in individuals who have genetic predisposition.
对100名土耳其风湿热患者的I类和II类HLA抗原分布进行了检查,其中77人有心脏受累情况。我们将结果与相同来源的对照组进行了比较。发现风湿热患者中HLA A10和HLA B35抗原的频率显著更高(分别为p < 0.05,p < 0.01)。有心脏受累的患者中HLA A10和HLA DRw11的频率显著高于无心脏受累的患者(分别为p < 0.05,p < 0.01)。另一方面,无心脏受累的患者中HLA Cw2抗原频率显著高于风湿性心脏病患者(p < 0.05)。我们支持这样的观点,即风湿热是具有遗传易感性的个体对A组β溶血性链球菌的免疫反应。
