title: Histocompatability antigens in the fibrositis (fibromyalgia) syndrome.
abstract: HLA antigen Class I (A, B, C) and II (DR) were determined in a small group of fibrositis (fibromyalgia) patients and normal controls. Sixty-seven percent of fibrositis patients had DR4 versus 30% of normal controls. There was also an increased relative risk (4.5). No statitical significance of other Class I and II antigens in fibrositis was found.
