Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess inflammatory signals in the sacroiliac joints and aorta of patients with axial spondyloarthritis before and after treatment with either sulfasalazine (SSZ) or adalimumab (ADA) using PET/CT imaging.
- Patients with significant disease activity were treated for different durations with SSZ or ADA, and their inflammatory markers were evaluated before and after treatment.
- Results indicated a significant reduction in inflammation in the SI joints among SSZ patients, while ADA showed no significant change, suggesting that SSZ may be effective in reducing detectable inflammation in these areas.
