Anterior uveitis in ankylosing spondylitis: a histocompatibility study
Annals of Ophthalmology
|July 1, 1979
Abstract:
The occurrence of acute anterior uveitis in ankylosing spondylitis was compared in 53 HLA-B 27 positive and 12 HLA-B 27 negative patients with this disease. Uveitis was found in HLA-B 27 positive patients only. These results suggest that uveitis and ankylosing spondylitis are independent diseases occurring on their own and strongly associated with HLA-B 27.
