Bacterial antigens in synovial biopsy specimens in yersinia triggered reactive arthritis.
Non-viable structures of Yersinia enterocolitica O:3 were shown at the site of inflammation within mononuclear cells in the synovial membrane of eight out of 10 patients with yersinia triggered reactive arthritis. An avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex method, with a rabbit antiserum specific for Y enterocolitica O:3, was used to visualise yersinia structures. All 13 control samples were negative ...
متن کاملYersinia-specific antibodies in serum and synovial fluid in patients with Yersinia triggered reactive arthritis.
OBJECTIVES To further evaluate the role of bacterial antigens in triggering inflammation in the joint in patients with reactive arthritis by studying local antibody synthesis in the joint. METHODS Yersinia-specific antibodies in paired serum and synovial fluid samples from 29 patients with yersinia triggered reactive arthritis were studied using an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), a...
متن کاملYersinia specific immune complexes in the synovial fluid of patients with yersinia triggered reactive arthritis.
Yersinia specific immune complexes were demonstrated in the synovial fluid of three patients out of 12 with yersinia triggered reactive arthritis. They were not detectable in the synovial fluid of any of the 16 control patients, including nine with reactive arthritis triggered by factors other than yersiniae. Platelet reactive IgG was detectable in the synovial fluid of eight out of the 12 pati...
متن کاملIgA-anti-yersinia antibodies in yersinia triggered reactive arthritis.
Patients who develop reactive arthritis after yersinia enteritis are characterised by high and persisting IgA-anti-yersinia antibodies. We have further analysed the humoral immune response to yersinia in this condition. Total concentrations of IgM, IgG, IgA, and secretory IgA in the serum and specific anti-yersinia antibodies belonging to IgA1, IgA2, or secretory IgA were compared in patients w...
متن کاملIdentification of bacterial antigens and super antigens in synovial fluid of patients with arthritis: a cross sectional study
Background : An accurate and prompt diagnosis of bacterial arthritis is essential for earlier treatment and a good outcome. Superantigens produced by Staph. Aureus are among the most lethal toxins. The paper objective was Identification of common bacterial antigens and S.aureus superantigens in synovial fluid (SF) of children with negative culture and direct smear for other bacteria except fo...
