    The AHA syndrome: arthritis, hives and angioedema (1987)
    Springer
    Rheumatology international 7 (1987), S. 277-279

    Notes: Summary Nine patients who have intermittently exhibited the concurrent triad of arthritis or arthralgia (A), hives or urticaria (H) and angioedema (A), in the absence of associated infection or connective-tissue disease, are reported. The ratio of women to men is 4 : 1, with no apparent age specificity. The duration of the disease has been up to 16 years, with an average of seven acute episodes per year, lasting up to 14 days. Upper-airway angioedema has been severe in four patients. Routine laboratory studies were normal, as were studies of complement levels, and both humoral and cellular immunity. Two samples of synovial fluid from one patient contained a marked preponderance of Ia-positive macrophages. The absence of associated infection and connective-tissue disease suggests this recurrent triad represents a distinct entity, which is designated the AHA syndrome.

    Immunocytological studies of Epstein-Barr viral antigen and antibody in rheumatoid synovial fluids (1983)
    Springer
    Rheumatology international 3 (1983), S. 23-27 
    Details
    ISSN: 1437-160X

    Notes: Summary Evidence for intra-articular immunity to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was sought in synovial fluids (SF) and SF phagocytes derived from patients with and without rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Antibody titres to EBV were not significantly different in SF of 32 RA and 25 non-RA patients. Whereas the majority of RA patients (69%) showed Ig-containing complexes (IC) in SF phagocytes, fluorescent antibody staining of these by anti-EBV serum was negative except with 6 RA patients. Extended analysis of the SF phagocytes of the latter, however, showed no EBV specificity in their IC, suggesting that these represented non-specific ‘pseudo-IC’. These studies do not support a role for EBV-containing IC in the propagation of rheumatoid synovitis and demonstrate that not all immunofluorescent inclusions in RA phagocytes (ragocytes) represent immune complexes.

    Population studies of leukocyte-reactive antinuclear antibody and HLA antigens (1981)
    Springer
    Rheumatology international 1 (1981), S. 103-105

    Notes: Summary The prevalence of serum leukocyte-reactive antinuclear antibody (LR-ANA) was determined in 31 patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), their age-and gender-matched normal controls, and two tribes of 340 West Coast Canadian Indians (Bella Coolas and Haidas). At a serum dilution of 1:10, the prevalence of LR-ANA in AS and controls was 45% and 7%, respectively. At 1:20 dilution, the prevalence was 23% in AS, 0% in controls, 29% in Bella Coolas and 27% in Haidas. No concordance was found among LR-ANA, HLA-B27 and CREG-B7, and nine HLA-A and seven HLA-B antigens in the Indian tribes. These studies confirm an increased prevalence of LR-ANA in AS and AS kindreds. but the latter association appears to be independent of HLA antigens.
