Abstract
Coexistence of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is very rare. Untill now only 8–10 cases has been reported in English literature. Here, in this study, we will discuss another case with coexistence of these two diseases and review the previously reported cases. 35-year-female patient with previously diagnosed AS with typical inflammatory lower back pain and HLA b27 positivity, MRI confirmed the presence of B/L active sacroilitis 10 years back now came with locomotor, skin, hematopoitic system involvement, with typical autoimmune disorder facies, showing strong positivity for ANA BLOT study and specific pattern on ANA by IFA, hypocomplementimia thus diagnosed as SLE in our hospital. Including our case most of the cases of coexistence of AS and SLE are females and SLE precedes occurrence of AS.
