Abstract
“Seronegative spondarthritides” is a clumsy expression yet it embodies much that is important in clinical rheumatology. The original concept was developed upon a secure basis of solid long-term clinical documentation, notably in the Leeds unit and in Taplow. At an early stage it was recognised that the term “seronegative rheumatoid arthritis” represented a destructive concept, lumping patients together and forcing them to fit the outdated textbook. The development of rheumatology from that time when this false standard was lowered has been one of unfettered advance.
