What is Ankylosing spondylitis (AS)?

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is an inflammatory arthritis and autoimmune disease. The impairment in our innate immune system has fatal results. During such condition our immunity fails to recognize our healthy cells and starts killing them, which leads into the inflammation. One of them is ankylosing spondylitis, in this condition, our immune attacks our joints in the spine, which results in the pain and stiffness in the back. The early symptoms of AS are seen during early adulthood or late adolescence between the age of15-30 years. The early symptoms of AS are characterized by the pain at the base of spine. It can spread upwards to other parts of the spine and causes severe pain in entire spine.
