Abstract

Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic spinal inflammatory disease affecting young men and, less commonly, women with a spectrum of manifestations including uveitis, arthritis, sacroiliitis, colitis, and psoriasis. Mixed connective tissue disorder [MCTD] is a complex and heterogeneous autoimmune disease that affects women in their childbearing age. It is characterized by circulating autoimmune antibodies that deposit in tissues, resulting in an inflammatory response, causing irreparable tissue damage. Overlap and coexistence of these diseases are uncommon, as per literature evidence.
