Juvenile spondyloarthritis with microscopic colitis

Indian Pediatr. 2012 Jul;49(7):579-80. doi: 10.1007/s13312-012-0097-2.

Abstract

We report an adolescent girl with long standing spondyloarthritis and chronic diarrhea. Colonoscopy and biopsy revealed microscopic colitis. All serology and HLA-B27 were negative. This case is reported for its rarity and the need to evaluate gut in chronic arthritis to achieve clinical remission.
