Abstract

Agglutinating antibodies against Yersinia enterocolitica serotypes 0:3, 0:8 and, to a minor extent, 0:6 were found in 18 out of 93 patients with inflammatory joint diseases. Patients with undifferentiated arthritis showed the highest prevalence of antibodies against Yersinia enterocolitica. The possibility that serotypes other than 0:3 may be involved in triggering arthritis is discussed.
