ResumoAbstract. Békássy, N. A., Enell, H. and Schalén, C. (Departments of Paediatrics and Medical Microbiology, University Hospital, Lund, Sweden). Severe polyarthritis following Campylobacter enteritis in a 12‐year‐old boy. Acta Paediatr Scand, 69: 269, 1980.—A severe attack of acute polyarthritis following a verified Campylobacter jejuni enteritis is described in a 12‐year‐old boy. The patient possesses the HLA‐B27 antigen—often found in postinfectious arthritis following acute enteric infections. The ASO titre showed a significant rise, but other serological findings and the clinical course made streptococcal infection unlikely. Investigations to elucidate cross‐reactivity between the two micro‐organisms turned out negative.
