Although systemic lupus erythematosus is the prototype multisystem disease, many other inflammatory diseases are also promiscuous, with symptoms manifesting in many organs. Now, new data emphasize the extra-articular involvement in spondyloarthritis, predominantly affecting the eye; however, the factors that account for the observed organ involvement remain unknown.

BACKGROUND The 6-item Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) is a method for evaluating disease activity in ankylosing spondylitis (AS). This study included 78 patients with active and inactive AS and aimed to evaluate anterior and posterior segment ocular changes. MATERIAL AND METHODS Seventy-eight patients and 70 control subjects were enrolled in this study.

Article Synopsis
- * The main symptom is inflammatory back pain starting before age 45, often accompanied by morning stiffness and improved by exercise; it can also involve issues in peripheral joints and other inflammatory conditions.
- * Diagnosis is often delayed by 6 to 8 years and relies on a combination of patient history, lab tests, and imaging; treatment usually starts with physical therapy and NSAIDs, but many patients may need advanced biologic therapies to manage their symptoms effectively.
Association between iridocyclitis and immune-related disease: A 2-sample Mendelian randomization study.

The genetic basis of iridocyclitis, an inflammatory eye disease, remains poorly understood, particularly in relation to autoimmune diseases. This study aimed to explore the causal associations between 6 immune-related diseases and iridocyclitis using Mendelian randomization (MR). A total of 230 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly associated with systemic lupus erythematosus, ankylosing spondylitis (AS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Graves disease (GD), Crohn disease (CD), and allergic contact dermatitis were identified based on stringent MR assumptions.

Article Synopsis
- Dry eye disease (DED) may be associated with axial spondylarthritis (axial-SpA), as this study aims to investigate the correlation between the two conditions and identify related variables.
- Out of 71 axial-SpA patients, 64.8% reported DED symptoms compared to only 15.8% of 19 healthy controls, suggesting a significantly higher prevalence of DED in axial-SpA patients.
- Various ocular tests revealed that axial-SpA patients exhibited poorer tear production and ocular surface health, indicated by lower Schirmer test scores, shorter tear break-up times, and higher staining levels, reinforcing the link between axial-SpA and DED.
Retinopathy, small fiber neuropathy (SFN), and encephalopathy associated with recoverin antibodies have not been previously reported as side effects of BNT162b2 vaccination in a patient with HLA-B27-associated spondylarthritis. The patient is a 47-year-old male with a 10-year history of HLA-B27-associated spondylarthritis without recurrence, who developed acute and post-acute COVID vaccination syndrome (ACVS/PACVS) after the first dose of the BNT162b2 vaccine. The PACVS manifested as cerebral disease, eye disease, and SFN.
