Can ankylosing spondylitis be transmitted?

summary

After a certain amount of observation, some people finally found that male patients with ankylosing spondylitis often suffer from prostatitis at the same time, so the infection related to prostatitis may have some connection with ankylosing spondylitis. There are also some people found that the probability of ankylosing spondylitis in people with ulcerative colitis disease is relatively large, so people speculate that ankylosing spondylitis may be associated with the infection of ulcerative colitis. In addition, some infections leading to localized enteritis may be associated with ankylosing spondylitis.

Can ankylosing spondylitis be transmitted?

1. Generally speaking, there are some links between some infectious factors leading to prostatitis, ulcerative colitis and localized enteritis and ankylosing spondylitis, but the specific link is still unknown. In fact, through the infection factors leading to ankylosing spondylitis is only a speculation.

2. Some patients with ankylosing spondylitis may have a history of upper respiratory tract infection for a period of time before the onset of the disease, or have a history of pulmonary tuberculosis before the onset of ankylosing spondylitis, so now people think that there is a certain relationship between the bacteria that can cause upper respiratory tract infection or pulmonary tuberculosis disease and ankylosing spondylitis.

3. In fact, there is no strong evidence to support the fact that infectious factors lead to ankylosing spondylitis. What is the relationship between these infections and ankylosing spondylitis is still unknown. However, even so, it is of great practical significance to actively prevent diseases such as upper respiratory tract infection, tuberculosis, traumatic infection, enteritis and so on.

matters needing attention

The incidence of ankylosing spondylitis in men is generally higher than that in women, which indicates that gender may play an important role in the disease. However, it is not clear why there is a relationship between ankylosing spondylitis and gender.
