A patient is described who developed signs and symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis after prostatitis due to Trichomonas vaginalis. Chronic prostatitis of unknown cause had previously been reported as being common in patients with ankylosing spondylitis. The observations in this case raise the possibility that T. vaginalis might play a role in the prostatitis and pathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis in some patients.
本文描述了一名患者,其在患滴虫性阴道炎所致前列腺炎后出现了强直性脊柱炎的体征和症状。此前有报道称,病因不明的慢性前列腺炎在强直性脊柱炎患者中很常见。该病例的观察结果提示,在某些患者中,阴道毛滴虫可能在前列腺炎及强直性脊柱炎的发病机制中起作用。
