IBD and spondyloarthritis: joint management

Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology volume 13, pages 9–10 (2016)Cite this article

Subjects

Subsequently, patients with symptoms of SpA can be underdiagnosed, with effective treatment delayed. Cooperation between gastroenterologists and rheumatologists is necessary and, ideally, an integrated management of these patients should be adopted.
