The term Spondylarthitides refers to a group of common rheumatic
disorders affecting the spine and peripheral joints. The
distribution of this disease is world-wide, with both men and women
affected (the average age of onset being below 30 years). These
also serve as a model system for understanding the interaction
between disease-inducing micro-organisms, and
genetically-susceptible host, since both of these components are
particularly well defined in the spondylarthopathies. They are
therefore of great interest from the point of veiw of understanding
the pathogenesis of inflammatory and autoimune diseases, such as
arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and insulin dependent
diabetes mellitus, all of which involve an interplay of microbial
and genetic factors. The Spondylarthritides provides up to date, in
depth reviews of the current state of knowledge of the genetic,
epidemiologic, microbiologic, and immunologic aspects of these
disorders.
The book provides extensive clinical descriptions of the
spondylarthritides, as well as reviews of the clinical features of
these diseases. Written by an international team comprised of
leading authorities in the field, the book will be of considerable
interest to researchers and clinicians investigating these specific
disorders, as well as related inflammatory disorders.
