| ankylosing spondylitis | <rheumatology> A polyarthritis involving the spine, which is characterised by progressive, painful stiffening of the joints and ligaments. It almost exclusively affects young men. Interestingly the disease seems to be associated with HLA B27, those with this histocompatability antigen are 300 times more likely to get the disease, 90% of sufferers have HLA B27 (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| arthritis, spondylitis | A form of arthritis causing chronic inflammation of the spine. (12 Dec 1998) |
| rheumatoid spondylitis | <rheumatology> A polyarthritis involving the spine, which is characterised by progressive, painful stiffening of the joints and ligaments. It almost exclusively affects young men. Interestingly the disease seems to be associated with HLA B27, those with this histocompatability antigen are 300 times more likely to get the disease, 90% of sufferers have HLA B27 (18 Nov 1997) |
| spondylitis | <pathology> Inflammation of the vertebrae. (18 Nov 1997) |
| spondylitis, ankylosing | The form of rheumatoid arthritis affecting the spine. It occurs predominantly in young males and produces pain and stiffness as a result of inflammation of the sacroiliac, intervertebral, and costovertebral joints. Aetiology is unknown. (12 Dec 1998) |
| spondylitis deformans | Arthritis and osteitis deformans involving the spinal column; marked by nodular deposits at the edges of the intervertebral disks with ossification of the ligaments and bony ankylosis of the intervertebral articulations, it results in a rounded kyphosis with rigidity. Synonym: Bechterew's disease, poker back, Strumpell's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tuberculous spondylitis | Tuberculous infection of the spine associated with a sharp angulation of the spine at the point of disease. Synonym: Pott's disease, spondylarthrocace, spondylocace, trachelocyrtosis, trachelokyphosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Kummell's spondylitis | Late posttraumatic collapse of a vertebral body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| purulent | <microbiology> Consisting of or containing pus, associated with the formation of or caused by pus. Origin: L. Purulentus (18 Nov 1997) |
| purulent conjunctivitis | A violently acute inflammation of the conjunctiva, with copious pus and a marked tendency for corneal involvement. (05 Mar 2000) |
| purulent cyclitis | Suppurative inflammation of the ciliary body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| purulent encephalitis | Encephalitis of bacterial aetiology. Synonym: encephalitis pyogenica, purulent encephalitis, suppurative encephalitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| purulent inflammation | An acute exudative inflammation in which the accumulation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes is sufficiently great that their enzymes cause liquefaction of the affected tissues, focally or diffusely; the purulent exudate is frequently termed pus, and consists of plasma and its constituents, end products of the enzymatic digestion of tissue, degenerated and necrotic cells and their debris, polymorphonuclear leukocytes and other white blood cells, the causal agent of the inflammation, etc. Synonym: suppurative inflammation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| purulent ophthalmia | Purulent conjunctivitis, usually of gonorrhoeal origin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| purulent pericarditis | Pericarditis, usually bacterial, with pus in the sac. (05 Mar 2000) |
