Immune Complexes in Ankylosing Spondylitis and Controls

Bernard Duquesnoy


  Abstract

Slight elevations in circulating immune complexes (CIC) were found in 10 ankylosing spondylitis patients when compared to healthy subjects, whilst higher levels of CIC and other complement products were found in patients with Rciter's syndrome and reactive arthritis.

It is suggested that complement studies should be carried out at different stages of the disease; firstly during episodes of infection and secondly during the stage of chronic inflammatory disease

KEY WORDS: Ankylosing spondyhtis, Immune complexes
