Abstract
- The article stresses referring patients with psoriasis, uveitis, or colitis and chronic back pain to a rheumatologist for axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) assessment, noting that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is more reliable than clinical evaluation. It discusses the prevalence of axSpA, the link between human leukocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27) positivity and axSpA, and MRI's diagnostic effectiveness.
