Some comments are made on the association of chronic intestinal inflammatory conditions and articular manifestations on the basis of a case of Crohn's disease associated with ankylosing spondylitis and digitalic hippocratism. The clinical case is described and the literature on associations observed during Crohn's disease reviewed. Special attention is paid to associations involving ankylosing spondylitis, enteropathic synovitis and hypertrophic osteopathy, particularly as regards the presence of clubbed fingers.
