Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) Disease Understanding


Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) also called as Bechterew's disease is a common inflammatory rheumatic disease that affects the axial skeleton, causing characteristic inflammatory back pain, which can lead to structural and functional impairments and a decrease in quality of life. Clinical features of this group include inflammatory back pain, asymmetrical peripheral oligoarthritis (predominantly of the lower limbs), enthesitis, and specific organ involvement such as anterior uveitis, psoriasis, and chronic inflammatory bowel disease. Aortic root involvement and conduction abnormalities are rare complications of AS. AS affects men more often than women. General onset of AS commonly occurs in younger people, between the ages of 17 and 45. However, it can also affect children and those who are much older (Spondylitis association of america).

AS is a type of spondyloarthropathy (SpA) - Spondyloarthropathies are a family of related inflammatory rheumatic disorders which also include reactive arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), spondyloarthropathy associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), undifferentiated spondyloarthropathy (USpA), and, possibly, Whipple disease and Behçet disease - and is often found in association with other spondyloarthropathies, including ReA, PsA, ulcerative colitis (UC), and Crohn disease. It has also been found that such patients quite often have a family history of either AS or another spondyloarthropathy. Axial Spondyloarthritis or axial SpA (axSpA) refers to a particular form of spondyloarthritis in which the predominant symptom is inflammatory back pain. Axial SpA is further divided into two subgroups as Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA).
