| Abstract |
|
Seronegative enthesopathy and arthropathy (SEA) syndrome is characterized by male predominance, late age onset, positive family histories of arthritis, oligoarthropathy, axial skeleton involvement, the presence of the B27 histocompatiboility antigen. It has been reported by Rosenberg and Petty in 1982. Early recognition of this syndrome destined to develop seronegative spondyiarthropathy is necessary to prevent axial spine dysfunction and defomity and to improve symptomes and signs using early pharmacologic agent.
We have experienced a case of SEA syndrome. A 8-year-old boy with pain and swelling on right ankle for lyear was admitted and treated as JRA but the symtome was not improved. Both rheumatoid factor and ANA were negative, HLA-B27 was positive. |
