Abstract
Their clinical features include spinal symptoms, peripheral arthritis and enthesopathic lesions. Severe spinal disease is more often seen in males and peripheral joint involvement in females. Late-onset peripheral spondyloarthropathy (LOPS) is characterised by severe disease, markedly raised inflammatory markers, oligoarthritis and oedema of the extremities, and HLA-B27 is positive. Late-onset psoriatic spondyloarthropathy shares a number of characteristics with late-onset spondyloarthropathy not seen in spondyloarthropathy patients of younger onset.
