Co-existance of Juvenil Ankylosing Spondylitis with Familial Mediterranean Fever and Takayasu’s Arteritis: A Case Report
Journal Title: HASEKİ TIP BÜLTENİ - Year 2018, Vol 56, Issue 1
Abstract
Juvenile ankylosing spondylitis (JAS) coexisting with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) or Takayusu’s arteritis (TA) together with JAS have been reported in the literature. However, co-existance of these three diseases has not been reported yet. Here, we present a 17-year- old female patient presenting with JAS who was subsequently diagnosed with FMF and TA. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of JAS presenting with FMF and TA.
