Patients with gut dysbiosis show worse axial SpA disease activity, physical function

Gut dysbiosis is more frequent in patients with ankylosing spondylitis, compared with controls, and is associated with worse axial spondyloarthritis disease activity and physical function, according to data.
“The link between spondyloarthritis (SpA) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is well recognized,” Jonas Sagard, of Lund University, in Sweden, and colleagues wrote. “IBD patients are at increased risk of developing SpA, and the reverse is likewise true, with prevalence estimates of diagnosed IBD in axial SpA (axSpA) cohorts between 5% and 10%. IBD is associated with an
