title: HLA tissue typing and chronic vulval dystrophy.
abstract: Tissue typing was performed on 25 patients who attended the Royal Victoria Hospital with chronic vulval dystrophy (CVD). Age-matched control groups who had pernicious anaemia only and achlorhydria only were also tissue typed as these conditions had been found more frequently in our patients with CVD. When these three groups were compared with age-matched control groups of blood donors and patients with gynaecological disorders other than CVD, no specific tissue type was found in patients with CVD nor in those with pernicious anaemia or achlorhydria only.
