Treatment for enteropathic arthritis depends on the how the disease has presented, which can be very different in different people. [rheuminfo.com]

When we considered the musculoskeletal symptoms at presentation, both the ESpA and AS groups predominantly reported back pain at presentation. [omicsonline.org]

A study of 62 patients revealed the presence of polyarthritis, root joint involvement, and rash at initial presentation to be associated with a poorer outcome. [insights.ovid.com]

A new mechanism implicating dimeric HLA-B27 heavy chains in the pathogenesis of enteropathic arthritis is also presented. Despite evidence for persisting antigen presence, antimicrobial therapy seems ineffective in reactive arthritis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

As a rheumatologist, a typical workup for someone with an inflammatory polyarthritis is a blood test that would be present in 80% or 85% for people with RA, but which would be absent in patients with IBD-associated or enteropathic arthritis. [healio.com]

In fact, SpA is difficult to diagnose when the patient’s main symptom is fever, often resulting in hospitalization for further diagnostic workups. [journals.plos.org]

Etiology: There is no association between HLA-B27 and colitic peripheral arthritis. However, HLA-B27 is found in 50% of patients with spondylitic colitis. Thus, in the presence of HLA-B27-negative AS, enteropathic arthritis should be considered. [rheumaknowledgy.com]
