Use of static lung mechanics to identify early pulmonary involvement in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.

Use of static lung mechanics to identify early pulmonary involvement in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.

AIM: To assess if a detailed analysis of lung mechanics could help in early recognition of pulmonary abnormalities in patients with ankylosing spondylitis. METHODS: Static pulmonary mechanics were studied in 17 patients (16 men and one woman) of ankylosing spondylitis with no obvious clinical or rad...
