  • Title: Coexistence of ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis.
    Author: Luthra HS, Ferguson RH, Conn DL.
    Journal: Arthritis Rheum; 1976; 19(1):111-4. PubMed ID: 1252261.
    Abstract:
    Ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis share many common features. However the presence of rheumatoid factor, histologically classic rheumatoid nodules, and the histocompatibility cell wall antigen (HLA-B27) helps distinguish one from the other. Two cases are reported in which these features established the coexisting diagnoses of ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis.
