Antibacterial antibodies for some enterobacteria in sera of patients with reactive arthritis and other rheumatoid diseases.
Roumanian Archives of Microbiology and Immunology 2008 January
The presence of the specific antibodies for some enterobacteria--Yersinia, Salmonella and Shigella was investigated in patients hospitalized in the period 2000-2007 with reactive arthritis and other rheumatoid diseases. The antibacterial antibodies in the diagnosis titres were found in 172 out of 1102 (15.6%) patients. Increased antibodies levels to Yersinia were detected in the sera from 113 (65.7%) of the 172 patients, for Shigella in 47 (27.3%) and for Salmonella in 12 (7.0%) cases. From all serologically positive patients 126 (73.2 %) had clinical diagnosis of reactive arthritis and 46 (26.7%) other rheumatoid diseases (ankylosing spondilytis, Reiter's syndrome, sacroilitis). The most serologically positive cases (63.9%) were of middle-age (30-50 years). There were no significant differences between sexes among serologically positive cases.
