Abstract
in English, French

Twenty clinical symptoms and four radiological signs of different joints in patients with Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) were studied in 2,560 subjects from endemic and non-endemic areas of the Shaanxi Province in China. It is suggested to classify the symptoms into five groups representing different manifestations of the disease. The association of some of the symptoms appears to provide significant criteria for use in the diagnosis of KBD.

Dans la maladie de Kashin Beck, vingt symptômes cliniques et quatre signes radiologiques au niveau de différentes articulations ont été étudiés chez 2560 personnes des régions endémiques et non-endémiques de la province du Shaanxi en Chine. Il est suggéré de classer les symptômes dans cinq manifestations différentes. L'association de quelques symptômes paraît être des critères diagnostic pour la maladie de KB.
