spondyloarthropathies
* a
group of interrelated multi system inflammatory disorders that affect the spine ,
the peripheral joints , and peri articular
structures
* presence of RF not a hallmark of these disorders ; referred to as
seronegative arthropathies
* both genetic and environmental factors play a role in disease development
( AS ) : affects primarily the axial
ankylosing spondylitis a chronic inflammatory disease that skeleton
as many as 150 000 to 300000 Canadians are affected by AS
the usual
age of onset is 15 30
years
-
three times as
many men develop AS than women
etiology and pathophysiology >
genetic predisposition
Aseptic synovial inflammation in the joints and adjacent tissue causes the formation of granulation tissue ( pannus ) and
the development of dense fibrous scars that lead to fusion of articular tissues .
clinical manifestations >
symptoms of inflammatory spine pain all first clues to diagnosis
Affected clients typically complain of low back pain ,
stiffness ,
and limitation of motion that is worse
during the
night
and in the but improves with mild
morning ,
activity .
General fever fatigue
symptoms such as , , anorexia ,
and
weight loss are rare .
Uveitis ( intraocular inflammation ) is the most common non skeletal
symptom .
Severe postural abnormalities and deformity can lead to significant disability for clients with AS .
diagnostic studies radiological studies are essential for the diagnosis of AS

detecting early sacroiliitis or subtle changes in posterior vertebr
presence of HLA 1327 antigen the likelihood of this
