WHY IS ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS DIAGNOSED LATE
https://doi.org/10.14412/2074-2711-2009-50
Abstract
The review analyzes reasons for the late diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis (Bekhterev's disease). Poor awareness about this disease among general practitioners, neurologists, manual therapists is a most significant reason. At the same time physicians of these specialties frequently encounter patients with early ankylosing spondylitis. Early long-term therapy with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs contributes to the maintenance of good quality of life in patients and to a favorable prognosis.
