    Author: Miller MM.
    Journal: Prim Care; 1984 Jun; 11(2):271-82. PubMed ID: 6332327.
    Abstract:
    These diseases are classified together as the seronegative spondyloarthritides. They are characterized by an association with the cell surface antigen HLA-B27, sacroilitis and spondylitis, inflammatory peripheral arthritis, enthesopathy (abnormalities in ligamentous attachments), and the absence of rheumatoid factor. Extra-articular complications are common. The diseases are usually treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and physical therapy.
