Abstract
Eleven children suffered recurrent ipisodes of knee stiffness ("catcher's crouch syndrome") after receiving HPV-77DK12 rubella vaccine. One was evaluated by arthroscopy and the synovium was found to be hypertrophied posteriorly and to protude in folds into the intercondylar notch and lateral joint space. Culture for rubella virus was unsuccessful. The author's observations provide evidence that "catcher's crouch syndrome" is a synovial disease and that chronic joint disease can be a sequela of rubella immunization.Entities:
