Baillieres Clin Rheumatol. 1998 Nov;12(4):717-36. doi: 10.1016/s0950-3579(98)80046-0.

Abstract

The monitoring and treatment of the diseases belonging to the concept of spondylarthropathy are related more to their clinical presentation, for example axial versus peripheral involvement, than to the precise diagnosis, for example, ankylosing spondylitis versus psorìatic arthritis. For each clinical presentation the treatment comprises local and systemic routes of administration but also drug and non-drug therapies.
