Abstract:
Are reported: the first one, observed in Tananarive, on a 26 years old man born in Madagascar, with involvement of sacroiliac articulation and rachis. The second one, observed in Marseille on a 20 years old man who was born in la Reunion, with serious right coxitis and sacroileitis. In the second case, the investigation of HLA B27 antigen was positive. Both cases were probably primitive. A review of literature shows unusualness of ankylosing spondylitis in tropical countries.
