Evaluating Associations Between Ankylosing Spondylitis, Torque Teno Virus and Polymorphisms in Interleukin 6 and Vitamin D Receptor Genes

International Journal of Immunogenetics, Volume 53, Issue 2, Page 157-170, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The etiology of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is complex and not yet fully understood. Interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), vitamin D and the vitamin D receptor (VDR) play an important role in modulating immune response, and Torque teno virus is considered a marker of immune status. This case–control study aimed to investigate the predisposition to AS. A total

Transition From Juvenile Dermatomyositis to Spondyloarthritis: A Novel Overlapping Inflammatory Phenotype

ACR Open Rheumatology, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
Objective Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) is a rare childhood inflammatory myopathy, whereas spondyloarthritis (SpA) is an inflammatory arthropathy characterized by enthesitis and peripheral or axial involvement. We describe a series of patients diagnosed with JDM in childhood who later fulfilled classification criteria for SpA, a sequential phenotype ...

MRI of the axial skeleton in spondyloarthritis : the many faces of new bone formation [PDF]

, 2019
Spondyloarthritis has two hallmark features: active inflammation and structural lesions with new bone formation. MRI is well suited to assess active inflammation, but there is increasing interest in the role of structural lesions at MRI.

When Fever Defies Diagnosis: Wissler–Fanconi Syndrome as an Atypical Presentation of Adult‐Onset Still's Disease

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Adult‐onset Still's disease should be considered in young adults presenting with fever of unknown origin and inflammatory arthritis, even in the absence of rash or sore throat. Recognition of the Wissler–Fanconi variant and early ferritin testing can prevent diagnostic delay and enable prompt, effective immunosuppressive therapy.

Radiologic Insights: Diagnosing Lumbosacral Transitional Vertebrae. Systematic Review of the Literature

Pain Practice, Volume 26, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction The lumbosacral transitional vertebra (LSTV) has been studied since 1876, with Castellvi developing a classification in 1984 based on its anatomy and laterality. It often goes unnoticed, or its diagnosis is limited to a lumbar spine X‐ray for confirmation. This has led to LSTV being underdiagnosed or even ignored.

Spine and sacroiliac joints on magnetic resonance imaging in patients with early axial spondyloarthritis: prevalence of lesions and association with clinical and disease activity indices from the Italian group of the SPACE study

Reumatismo, 2016
Our aim was to determine the prevalence of spine and sacroiliac joint (SIJ) lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with early axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and their correlation with disease activity indices.

Utility of 99mTc-MDP bone scan in comparison to MRI and plain radiographs for the diagnosis of early spondyloarthropathy

Journal of Spinal Surgery, 2014
Introduction: Spondyloarthropathy as a cause of inflammatory lower back ache often goes undiagnosed for long. Though various clinical criteria have been developed, evidence of sacroiliitis is considered the basis for diagnosis. As sacroiliitis may become

High prevalence of undiagnosed axial spondyloarthritis in patients with chronic low back pain consulting non-rheumatologist specialists in Belgium : SUSPECT study [PDF]

, 2017
Introduction: Diagnosis of axial spondy loarthritis (SpA) can be delayed for several years mainly because of low awareness of axial SpA among non-rheumatologists who are the first interlocutors of potential SpA patients.
