What is Ankylosing Spondylosis about?

Ankylosing Spondylitis is an inflammatory arthropathy primarily affecting the axial skeleton, leading to bony ankylosis in advanced stages. It is more prevalent in males and is associated with the HLA B27 antigen, often triggered by infections like Klebsiella pneumoniae. Clinical features include chronic low back pain, stiffness, and potential complications such as fracture dislocations and amyloidosis, with diagnosis supported by radiological findings and specific clinical criteria.
