Idiopathic peripheral enthesopathy without spondylarthritis

Abstract

A 40 year old man who had a systemic inflammatory enthesopathy without spondylarthritis and HLA-B27 is described. The presence of hypergammaglobulinaemia and the effectiveness of glucocorticoid therapy suggested the possibility of its aetiology being 'autoimmune' in nature.
