Rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis occurring together: a case report

强直性脊柱炎和类风湿关节炎是两种不同的风湿免疫性疾病,同时患病于同一患者,在临床上比较少见,我科最近收治此病1例并给予中西医结合治疗,患者症状得到有效改善,现将病例报告如下。

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are two different rheumatoid immune diseases. It is not common that the two diseases occur simultaneously in the same patient in clinical practice. Here, we reported a case of meeting the diagnostic criteria for both AS and RA, who was treated with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine and received apparent improvement.
