Abstract

Spondyloarthritis is a chronic inflammatory rheumatism associated with a variety of extra-articular manifestations, including chronic inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis). Subclinical gastrointestinal manifestations in patients with spondyloarthritis are common, and clinical involvement exists in a number of patients. The pathophysiology remains poorly understood and involves genetic and immunological factors, as well as the gut microbiome. Screening for inflammatory bowel disease in patients with spondyloarthritis is important because its occurence modifies the therapeutic management of these patients.
