Correlation between biomarkers of disease activity and lower limb enthesopathy in patients with undifferentiated spondylarthritis

Background: Enthesitis is a widely accepted feature of spondylarthropathies Serum biomarkers related to disease activity, are in relation with progression of enthesitis. Ultrasound is the most rapidly developing technique in musculoskeletal imaging. Continuing advances in technology have broadened its application, such that it now replaces MRI in many specific clinical settings and serve as an important adjuncts in others Objective: To investigate the relation between markers of disease activity and entheseal spread in patients with undifferentiated spondylarthropathies (USp).using musculoskeletal ultrasound Met…
