Abstract

Relapsing polychondritis is a systemic disease manifested by recurring episodes of focal inflammatory destruction of cartilage accompanied by fibroblastic regeneration. We present the case of typical ear chondritis and elevated levels of antibodies against native type II-collagen and - to our knowledge not described until now - against type IX-collagen in the serum. This finding indicates a primary role of these antibodies in the pathogenesis of the disease.
