TI  - Human leukocyte antigen in Sweet's syndrome and its relationship to Behcet's 
      disease.
PG  - 1069-73
AB  - A 41-year-old man with Sweet's syndrome (SS) had symptoms similar to Behcet's 
      disease (BD). To study the relationship of the two diseases, human leukocyte 
      antigen (HLA) typing was performed on 28 patients with SS and 49 patients with 
      BD. Of the 28 patients with SS, seven had BD symptoms. The frequencies of both 
      HLA-B51 and -DQw3 were significantly higher in patients with BD. However, the 
      frequencies of the two HLA antigens in the 28 patients with SS and the 21 
      patients with SS without BD symptoms were not significantly different from the 
      controls. The frequency of HLA-Bw54 was significantly increased in both groups of 
      patients with SS. Taken together, these data indicate that SS is a genetically 
      distinct disease entity from BD, although their symptoms are similar and the 
      incidence of SS among patients with BD is high in Japan.
