Abstract:
Human immunodeficiency virus infection is associated with a variety of rheumatic manifestations. The pathogenic mechanisms are not well defined, but evidences suggests multiple mechanisms, including direct or indirect human immunodeficiency virus involvement with a genetic, immunological, and environmental basis. Rheumatic manifestations can occur during the course of human immunodeficiency virus infection, and their presence is associated with an overall poor prognosis for the underlying human immunodeficiency virus infection. We report a case of a 37-year-old male who had ankylosing spondylitis with a human immunodeficiency virus infection.
