Article Synopsis
- Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease primarily affecting the spine, causing lower back pain and stiffness, and can also impact joint health, especially in the hips and knees.
- Treatment options for AS include patient education, exercises, NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and anti-TNF-α biological agents, which significantly improve patient outcomes.
- A case study highlights a 63-year-old patient with AS who developed cerebral tuberculosis after three years on infliximab, raising questions about the safety of continuing biological therapy during AS reactivation.
