Ankylosing spondylitis (AS), currently grouped under the term axial
spondyloarthritis (axSpA), is a chronic form of arthritis that
causes inflammatory back pain and can gradually result in impaired
spinal mobility. It can also cause eye inflammation (uveitis),
arthritis of limb joints, inflammation at sites of bony attachments
of tendons and ligaments (enthesitis), and associated psoriasis and
inflammatory bowel disease. No cure has yet been found; however,
early diagnosis and proper medical and lifestyle management are
very important in reducing the risk of deformity and disability.
Written by a leading expert on the subject who himself has been
living with AS since age 12, this book provides clear and practical
information on the clinical symptoms and signs, underlying causes,
genetic predisposition, diagnosis, treatments, and impact on daily
life. The combination of scientific knowledge and personal
experience results in a unique book which will prove invaluable for
patients and their families and friends, as well as allied health
professionals and students wishing to know more about the
condition. The second edition has been fully updated to cover the
tremendous advancements made in the clinical recognition and
effective management since the first edition in 2002. It also
includes a glossary of medical terms and links to sources of
further information to give patients the tools they need to
understand and manage the condition effectively.
