Abstract

A 25-year-old woman was admitted for general arthralgia in July, 1989. Reactive arthritis with arthralgia after Shigellosis was diagnosed by sex, localization of arthralgia and positive for HLA-B 27. Within 3 weeks after starting diclifenac sodium 75mg/day, the arthralgia remitted. It has been reported that patients who are positive for HLA-B 27 have a more severe acute or chronic sacroiliitis, and our case may support this report.
