Salmonella reactive arthritis in established ankylosing spondylitis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A patient with previously diagnosed ankylosing spondylitis developed a first episode of peripheral synovitis following enteritis with Salmonella group D. Ankylosing spondylitis and reactive arthritis are HLA-1B27-related conditions and flare-ups have been linked to alterations in bowel flora. This case report supports recent suggestions that peripheral synovitis in ankylosing spondylitis is a form of reactive arthritis.

ASSOCIATION OF HLA-B27 WITH ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS IN ISFAHAN, IRAN
Using a standard microcytotoxicity (NIH) technique of tissue typing, the HLA-B27 antigen was identified in 30 out of 34 patients (HH.2%) with classical ankylosing spondylitis (AS), compared to 6 out of 70 controls (H.6%) (P < 0.005). We also found this antigen in 8 out of 76 (10.5%) patients with non-AS arthritis.

Susceptibility to many infectious agents is associated with ABO blood group or secretor state, or both. The distribution of the ABO blood group or secretor state, or both, was therefore determined in 87 patients with ankylosing spondylitis and...

The mechanism behind this striking association remains elusive; however animal model a...
