    Author: Beyeler C.
    Journal: Ther Umsch; 1994 Jun; 51(6):418-24. PubMed ID: 8048022.
    Abstract:
    Spondyloarthritides are chronic inflammatory disorders, characterized by sacroiliitis, spondylitis, peripheral arthritis, extra-articular manifestations and association with HLA-B27. Specific clinical presentations allow to differentiate between different diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis, psoriasis arthritis and arthritis in inflammatory bowel disease. For therapy, regular physiotherapy, ergonomic counselling, anti-inflammatory drugs, disease-modifying drugs and antibiotics for chlamydia-induced reactive arthritis are used.
