ABSTRACT
Ankylosing spondylitis, a chronic inflammatory disease, is a burden on the patient and society. Serum levels of Tartrate Resistant Acid Phosphatase were assessed in 61 patients who had mild AS, and 65 age and sex-matched patients with moderate AS. Tartrate Resistant Acid Phosphatase was significantly increased in patients with moderate disease compared with patients having mild disease. The data from the present study indicate that TRAP might be a marker for AS.
