Abstract
Two black male patients with aortic insufficiency had mild, asymptomatic ankylosing spondylitis, evident from roentgenograms and from the presence of HLA-B27 antigen. The 2 cases emphasize that even subclinical ankylosing spondylitis may have aortic insufficiency, and that the uncommon occurrence of ankylosing spondylitis in black patients may also be associated with this extra-articular manifestation.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
