Abstract
The paper debates over the classification of spondyloarthritis (SpA). The paper «Diagnosis of spondyloarthritis: Should we need new criteria?» published in the journal «Sovremennaya Revmatologiya=Modern Rheumatology Journal» 2015. No. 1 has given occasion to discussion. Of dispute are the paper’s conclusions: «At present most patients with SpA meet ≥2 classification criteria, which gives the chance to state ≥2 nosological entities in the same patient. This demonstrates the need to elaborate diagnostic criteria that can make a clear distinction between different forms of SpA».
The author of this publication touches upon its two interrelated disputable aspects: 1) the specific features of the criteria, which have led to this conclusion and 2) the classification peculiarities, i.e. whether SpA is a single clinical polymorphic disease or a group of a few diseases having a certain common sign.
