“…The association of HLA-Bw16 (B38, B39) with HLA-B27-negative patients with ankylosing spondylitis was originally reported in Caucasians [13]. In the Japanese population, HLA-B39 is associated with reactive arthritis induced by tonsillitis [14,15]. A subset of natural HLA-B27 ligands was shown to be capable of binding to HLA-B39 [16].…”

We present the case of a 43-year-old man diagnosed with HLA-B39-positive spondyloarthritis who developed cutaneous lesions consistent with cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa (CPN). Previous studies indicated an elevated incidence of HLA-B39 in HLA-B27-negative Japanese patients with spondyloarthritis. This case suggested that CPN may also occur in association with forms of HLA-B39-positive spondyloarthritis. The rarity of this association is emphasized. Therapy with corticosteroid and methotrexate improved both the cutaneous lesions and the clinical symptoms of spondyloarthritis.
