| Summary: | The involvement of the spine in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is observed in a large number of cases; however, a unified approach to solving this problem has not yet been formed. Criteria for the diagnosis of psoriatic spondylitis have not been clearly defined; internationally accepted definitions for this concept are absent; criteria for a PsA exacerbation and remission have not been formulated with regard to spondylitis. The specialists of GRAPPA (Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis) have no their own recommendations for the treatment of axial involvement in PsA now. The therapeutic tactics used in the treatment of axial spondylitis and ankylosing spondylitis is borrowed in this area. The involvement of the spine calls for further investigation. |
