| Abstract |
| Abstract We describe the case of a Japanese girl
who suffered from both Behcet's disease (BD) and bilateral sacroiliitis.
This patient was diagnosed with BD at 8 years of age, and began to
complain of buttock pain when she was 10 years old. X-rays of her
pelvis showed bilateral grade 3 sacroiliitis, and bone scintigraphy
showed an increased uptake in the sacroiliac joints. Movements of
the spine and chest expansion were not restricted. HLA typing was
positive for B44 and DR4, but negative for B27. The patient was not
diagnosed as having seronegative spondyloarthropathy. This case indicates
that erosive sacroiliitis is an intrinsic condition of BD. |
