TI  - Reactive arthritis after influenza vaccination: report of a case.
PG  - 283-5
AB  - We describe a patient with reactive arthritis (ReA) induced by influenza 
      vaccination. A healthy 79-year-old Japanese man began suffering from migrating 
      polyarthritis 2 days after receiving influenza vaccine. He proved negative for 
      rheumatoid factor, showing no evidence for microbial infections such as 
      Streptoccocci, Chlamydia, or Parbovirus B19. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing 
      analysis revealed positive results for HLA-B54 (22), which is one of the 
      cross-reactive antigens to HLA-B27. His arthritis improved with administration of 
      nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and recovery was attained within 6 weeks. 
      Reactive arthritis is a rare adverse effect induced by influenza vaccination; 
      however, it is important that it is recognized by all physicians.
