[Sea urchin spines synovitis. A case report with positive pasteurellosis antigen intradermoreaction (author''s transl)].
???displayArticle.abstract???
A case is reported of a 53 years old woman who injured proximal interphalangeal joint of the right fourth finger on a sea urchin spine. She developed an extensive arthritis after synovial biopsy with sequellar fourth and fifth paw fashioned fingers and a palmar fibrositis. The originality of this observation with typical clinical symptoms and characteristic synovial histology (giant cells granulomatous synovitis) is the combination of a pasteurellosis infection. The diagnosis of the last one can be based on the inoculation in extra-aquatic condition, the extension of arthritis and particularly the positivity of pasteurellosis antigen intradermoreaction.
