Secretory IgA: immune defence pattern in ankylosing spondylitis and klebsiella.
Saliva secretory IgA (sIgA), secretory component (SC); serum immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, IgM), complement (C3, C4), C-reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were performed in 32 patients with ankylosing spondylitis and 29 normal controls. They were investigated for carriage in the faeces of Klebsiella spp. on 3 occasions over the previous months. Throat swabs and urine ...
متن کاملIgA-a1 antitrypsin complexes in ankylosing spondylitis
A study of 95 serum samples from 61 patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) showed that 21 patients (34%) had raised levels of IgA-al antitrypsin complexes. These were associated with active disease as measured by a clinical index and also with erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C reactive protein, and serum IgA. In particular, an association was noted between 'extraspinal' manifestations of AS ...
متن کاملUrolithiasis in ankylosing spondylitis: Correlation with Bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index (BASDAI), Bath ankylosing spondylitis functional index (BASFI) and Bath ankylosing spondylitis metrology index (BASMI)
Background: Increased incidence of renal stone has been reported in ankylosing spondylitis (AS), but unlike some well-known renal involvements, they have not been fully studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of AS with urolithiasis and also the relation between urinary stone and severity markers. Methods: One hundred-sixty three AS patients were included in a cross-s...
متن کاملAnkylosing spondylitis, IgA, and transforming growth factors.
This hypothesis article reviews laboratory findings in seronegative arthritides with a view to discovering which cvtokines are likely to be most important in their pathogenesis. It concludes that transforming growth factors may play a significant role, and suggests that they derive from a group of T cells which have recently been rather neglected by academic immunologists. Ankylosing spondyliti...
متن کاملCharacterization of the humoral immune response to Klebsiella species in inflammatory bowel disease and ankylosing spondylitis.
This study was carried out to characterize the antibody class response by ELISA to seven Klebsiella pneumoniae serotypes (K2, K3, K17, K21, K26, K36, K50) in five different groups, 40 HLA-B27-positive ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients, 46 patients with Crohn's disease (CD), 38 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), 50 patients with active anti-endomysial antibody-positive coeliac disease and...
