| Abstract |
| Abstract Vitiligo is a very common disease and
is suspected to be autoimmune in its pathogenesis. Many autoimmune
complications, such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, are reportedly associated
with vitiligo. The pathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is
also suspected to be autoimmune, triggered by some infection. We
report a 56-year-old man with concurrent vitiligo and AS, and suggest
that both diseases could have a common autoimmune background. |
