Abstract
Familial polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is rare. We describe here two siblings who developed PAN 8 years apart. HLA typing showed that the affected family members shared a common haplotype with their unaffected mothers. Further study of the family history suggested the possibility of an inherited disorder of connective tissue predisposing to autoimmunity and aneurysm formation.Entities:
