The articular manifestations of the intestinal diseases can be quite variable affecting primarily either the pripheral joints, or sacroiliac areas and the spine. The presence of the haplotype HLA-B27 is associated in the majority of cases with the presence of spinal involvement. The treatment of the arthritis does not usually follow the natural history of the inflammatory bowel disease.
