Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) presents a broad clinical spectrum beyond typical sacroiliitis, including atypical and forme fruste presentations. Management focuses on NSAIDs and exercise, with established assessment core sets available.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Immunogenetics

Background:

  • Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) exhibits a wider clinical spectrum than initially recognized, encompassing atypical and forme fruste presentations.
  • The pathogenesis of AS may involve significant additive genetic variability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the diverse clinical presentations of ankylosing spondylitis.
  • To emphasize the established treatment modalities and assessment tools for AS.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical spectrum and classification criteria for spondyloarthropathies.
  • Summary of current treatment strategies and assessment core sets for AS.

Main Results:

  • AS clinical spectrum includes atypical and forme fruste presentations, often covered by spondyloarthropathy classification criteria.

  • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and physical exercise are primary treatments for AS.
  • Standardized core sets for AS assessment are available for various clinical settings.

    • Conclusions:

    • Recognizing the broad clinical spectrum of AS is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
    • Current treatment and assessment strategies provide a solid foundation for managing ankylosing spondylitis effectively.
