Abstract

We would like to thank F.J. Olmedo-Garzón and A. Ruiz-Ollero for their interest in our article examining the presence of imaging features suggestive of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) in patients with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) (1). We have read with great interest their comments on our results indicating a high prevalence of inflammatory lesions (especially bone marrow edema [BME]) at the spine but not at the sacro-iliac joints (SIJ) (2). Similar findings have been observed recently in the ILOS-DESIR study, comparing age-matched patients with recent onset chronic back pain (n=97) vs. recent onset axSpA (n=100).
