Acute rheumatoid factor positive (IgM) polyarthritis associated with a Klebsiella pneumonitis.

M Magaro'1, L Altomonte, A Zoli, L Mirone, M C Berchicci.   

Abstract

The authors report a case of a patient suffering from acute polyarthritis with a high rheumatoid factor titre, associated with a Klebsiella pneumonitis. A polyclonal B lymphocyte activation or a possible cross reaction between rheumatoid factor and an antigen related to Klebsiella may explain the elevated production of rheumatoid factor observed.
