Abstract
Bruton-type agammaglobulinemia is primary hypogammaglobulinemia
followed by severe recurrent infection, including
bacterial otitis media, bronchitis, pneumonia, and
meningitis. Septic arthritis is a main musculoskeletal disorder
that can occur in association with Bruton-type
agammaglobulinemia. But the development of rheumatoid
arthritis (RA) is rarely reported in a patient with hypogammaglobulinemia.
Here, we describe a case of 34-year-old
male with Bruton-type agammaglobulinemia, who presented
with multiple symmetric polyarthritis. He was diagnosed as
having a RA according to ACR criteria. His symptoms of
polyarthritis had been improved after the introduction of
medications including DMARDs (disease modifying anti-
rheumatic drugs). Our case suggests that RA can be developed
in the setting of agammaglobulinemia, and even in this
situation, anti-rheumatic agents were effective to control arthritis
without complication such as severe infection.
Key Words. Bruton-type agammaglobulinemia, Rheumatoid
arthritis, Anti-rheumatic agents
