✦ Synopsis

arthritis and arthralgia cannot be made from the available data. In addition, the fact that no anti-collagen antibodies could be measured in this patient suggests that the chance that a serum sickness reaction ensued is extremely remote. The additional fact that there was no inflammatory response at injection sites makes it unlikely that a significant immune response occurred.

Finally, the title assigned to this letter, "Collageninduced arthritis in a human" signifies a conclusion that exceeds the information contained in the letter. The editors are reaching a conclusion that would not be made by the careful reader.
