Abstract
A 30-year-old woman with a 12-year history of palindromic rheumatism without progression to chronic arthritis experienced pronounced reduction of arthritic symptoms during both of her 2 pregnancies with, on each occasion, symptoms recurring 3 months after delivery. This is the first reported case suggesting an ameliorating effect of pregnancy on disease activity in palindromic rheumatism.
