  • Title: Anterior uveitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and ankylosing spondylitis in a HLA-B27-positive woman.
    Author: Singleton EM, Hutson SE.
    Journal: South Med J; 2006 May; 99(5):531-3. PubMed ID: 16711320.
    Abstract:
    A woman developed anterior uveitis at age 24, inflammatory bowel disease at age 29, and ankylosing spondylitis at age 45 by history. There were frequent recurrences. An HLA-B27 test was positive at age 53. The literature indicates that all of these conditions together in a HLA-B27-positive woman are uncommon. Physicians should be alert to the possibility that a patient might develop another of these associated diseases years after presentation of the first condition and educate their patients accordingly.
