Incomplete Reiter's syndrome in a black patient showing HLA B 27.

We report a case of incomplete Reiter's syndrome in a black patient, who was first incorrectly diagnosed as having rheumatoid arthritis. We discuss the challenge involved in diagnosing incomplete forms of the syndrome and the value of a positive HLA B 27 antigen level in black patients.

Arthritis, Reactive

Immunopathological changes after multiple spider bites.

Utilizing a panel of immune complex assays, antigen-antibody complex formation in a 29-year-old man shortly after a spider bite was documented. The clinical picture and laboratory parameters were consistent with a serum sickness reaction. Immune hyperactivity was evidenced by a detectable autoimmune serological response. This constellation of findings may be a common attendant to arthropod envenomation.

Adult
