Twenty-three (85.2%) of 27 female patients with ankylosing spondylitis were positive for HLA-B27 antigen, including 15 of 18 white women (83.3%) and eight of nine black women (88.9%). Ankylosing spondylitis in women appears to have the same high association with HLA-B27 antigen as that reported in predominantly male studies (88% to 96%). Determination of this antigen may be useful in the evaluation of female patients suspected of having ankylosing spondylitis.
27例女性强直性脊柱炎患者中有23例（85.2%）HLA - B27抗原呈阳性，其中18名白人女性中有15例（83.3%），9名黑人女性中有8例（88.9%）。女性强直性脊柱炎似乎与HLA - B27抗原的关联度与主要针对男性的研究报告（88%至96%）相同。检测该抗原可能有助于评估疑似患有强直性脊柱炎的女性患者。
