We here report fourteen @entity1 diagnosed as @entity11533 ( @entity11533 ) in our hospital. Seven @entity1 were males (mean age at onset was 26.6 years), and seven were females (30.6 years). All of the cases had spiking fever ( > 39 degrees C) and joint symptoms. @entity382 , @entity381 , and @entity3329 were noted in 50% of the @entity1 , respectively. @entity272 was seen in twelve @entity1 (85.7%). Among them, nine @entity1 (64.3%) exhibited @entity1910 . @entity5641 or @entity2396 was seen in one case each. Only one @entity1 revealed @entity16 . @entity490 was present in 50% of the cases. The ratio of occurrence of secondary @entity2783 was 14.3%. Four @entity1 (28.6%) were diagnosed to have the apophyseal narrowing at the cervical spine (C2-C3). Two @entity1 (14.3%) accompanied by Sj  gren's syndrome were @entity1 over 40 years of age. The levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptor were significantly elevated in the sera obtained from seven @entity1 with @entity11533 and four @entity1 with @entity4932 , compared with normal controls. It seems to support the notion that immunopathologic processes via T cell activation play an important role in the pathogenesis of @entity11533 .
