Abstract:
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is rarely found in conjunction with connective tissue diseases. Moreover, reports on the coexistence of AS with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are few. Here, we describe such a case of coexisting AS and SLE in a 58-year-old male patient. He presented with a 5-year history of pain in the lower spine. Immunological tests showed positive results for antinuclear and Sm antibodies. The human leukocyte antigen B27 was also positive. Here, we report a case where AS coexisted with SLE.
