title: [Sudden deafness and acute synovitis: a case report].
abstract: A case of sudden deafness followed by arthritic manifestations is reported. The importance of immunologic tests, such as circulating immune complexes and the HLA system, in making a correct diagnosis is emphasized, which in turn suggests the possibility of establishing new diagnostic strategies.
