title: [Acetylator phenotype in spondylarthritis ankylopoietica].
abstract: The authors studied the distribution of acetylator phenotypes among 136 AS patients (100 male, 36 female). 67 per cent of all patients were slow acetylators, 72 per cent of the males. Both rates are higher than that of the healthy Hungarian population. The authors draw attention to the clinical importance of investigating the acetylator type before sulphasalazine treatment because it may help in prescribing the effective dose and avoiding side effects.
