Late-onset peripheral joint disease in ankylosing spondylitis

M D Cohen et al. Ann Rheum Dis. 1982 Dec.

Abstract

We reviewed the records of 150 patients with definite ankylosing spondylitis who had significant peripheral arthritis and were seronegative and found 7 patients who had the onset of peripheral arthritis after their spinal disease became inactive. This late-onset peripheral arthritis may lead to significant joint deformity, and aggressive therapy may be warranted.
