Abstract

The rheumatic diseases comprise well over 100 distinct entities affecting as many as 36 million Americans. Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) affects 3 million Americans and is third in frequency only to osteoarthritis (16 million) and rheumatoid arthritis (6.5 million)1. In England, it has been estimated that there are at least 50 000 patients with AS, a prevalence comparable to that of gout2.
