Abstract:
The article is devoted to the study of the assessment of the clinical and functional features of the course of ankylosing spondylitis in patients who have undergone COVID-19. The patients were divided into two groups: the first group of patients with ankylosing spondylitis who had undergone COVID-19, the second group of patients with ankylosing spondylitis who did not undergo COVID-19. All patients underwent in-depth clinical, laboratory and radiological examinations as well as testing using various scales. The clinical course of ankylosing spondylitis in patients who had undergone COVID-19 was characterized by a more pronounced disease activity, a high intensity of pain syndrome and more pronounced impairments in functional activity.
