Abstract

Klinefelter syndrome has been noted to have an association with several autoimmune and rheumatic diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. We report a 14-year-old boy with Klinefelter syndrome who developed severe acne fulminans and bilateral sacroiliitis after testosterone and isotretinoin administration.
