Abstract
We describe a 17-year-old girl who has had HLA-B27 associated peripheral enthesitis for ten years with no other clinical manifestation of seronegative spondyloarthropathy. This case supports our hypothesis that peripheral enthesitis may occur alone during childhood, as the only clinical feature of the HLA-B27 associated disease process.
