What is the history of Ankylosing Spondylitis?
When was Ankylosing Spondylitis discovered? What is the story of this discovery? Was it coincidence or not?
Ankylosing spondylitis has a long history, having been distinguished from rheumatoid arthritis by Galen as early as the 2nd century AD.[45] Skeletal evidence of the disease (ossification of joints and entheses primarily of the axial skeleton, known as "bamboo spine") was found in an archaeological dig that unearthed the skeletal remains of a 5000-year-old Egyptian mummy with evidence of bamboo spine.[46]

1972 was the year that the HLA-B27 Gene was tied to Ankylosing Spondylitis. It is not a rare disease however it is very often not diagnosed untill later in the disease process around 10 years after symptoms.

Ankylosing spondylitis is a type of arthritis in which there is long term inflammation of the joints of the spine. In the late nineteenth century, the neurophysiologist V. Bekhterev of Russia, Adolph Strümpell of Germany and Pierre Marie of France were the first to give adequate descriptions which permitted an accurate diagnosis of it prior to severe spinal deformity. For this reason, is also known as Bekhterev Disease, Bechterew's Disease or Marie–Strümpell Disease.

If memory serves me correctly, AS dates Way back to 2nd or 3rd century and can't recall the person who first documented AS

Sir Benjamin Brodie (1783–1862) described in 1850, a case of a man whose
disease started when he was 27 years old, becoming completely rigid within
6 years, had a long continued rheumatism of the spine, with a ‘hoop-like’ deformity
and occasionally suffering from in fl ammation of the eyes.
This would appear to be the fi rst reported case of uveitis in a patient with
ankylosing spondylitis.

Seems to have a long history as they already found mommies suffering from this condition.
But it is on late 1890 that the first description of AS were given which permitted diagnosis throughout different countries.

Also, called Bechterews disease among many others, Ankylosing Spondylitis is thought to have been identified in 1559, by Realdo Columbo and the first pathological changes were documented in 1691, by Bernard Connor.
The first book was published, by David Tucker in 1858. It detailed the case of Leonard Trask, which was the first known case in the USA.
The first x rays identifying AS were taken in 1897.
Aortic incompetence was associated with AS in 1956.
HLA b27 was discovered in 1973.
