ABSTRACT
We describe a 16year old boy with acne fulminans associated with axial and peripheral polyarthritis. The patient's clinical course and therapy with isotretinoin, prednisolone and oxytetracycline are described. A possible association between the presence ofHLA-B27 antigen and reactive arthritis with acne fulminans in this case is evaluated. A review of the literature is included
