[Analysis of distribution of histocompatibility antigens class I and II in children with rheumatoid arthritis].
The authors studied distribution of antigens HLA A, B, C in 115 children and of antigens HLA DR in 102 children of the Russian nationality with classic or diagnosed juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA). A rise in the frequency of antigens B21, B27 and DR3 was noted as compared to the control values. Then distribution of HLA-antigens was analysed in separate groups of patients depending on the nature of the clinical course of JRA. It was characteristic of patients of patients depending on the nature of the clinical course of JRA. It was characteristic of patients with mono-oligoarthritis with an polyarticular form of JRA to exhibit a rise in the frequency of antigens B27 and DRW8, with uveitis--of antigens A2, B27 and DRW8, with a high degree of activity of the inflammatory process--B21, with an allergic variant--B21, with an articulovisceral form--B21, DR3 and DR4, with Still's disease--DR3, rheumatoid nodes--DR2 and DR3. Thus, specificity of associations was determined in most of the cases by the nature of JRA clinical course. The authors confirm the number of associations previously described in the literature abroad.
