Arthritis accompanying ileal pouchitis or undifferentiated HLA B27-related spondyloarthropathy?
The case of an HLA B27(+) patient who developed inflammatory arthritis accompanying ileal pouchitis, following total proctocolectomy for familial adenomatous polyposis is presented for the first time in the literature. Based on its clinical presentation and serology, it can be classified either as arthritis accompanying ileal pouchitis, or as an undifferentiated spondyloarthropathy.
