We report a case of a patient suffering from enlargement of multiple lymph nodes and low back pain for one year. The diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis was made by bilateral sacroilitis and HLA-B27 positivity. Lymph nodes biopsy revealed lymphoid hyperplasia. No other cause for the lymphadenopathy was found after a thorough study. Furthermore, high serum IgA and C-reactive protein which were most likely related to active ankylosing spondylitis existed together with lymph node enlargement. Therefore, it was a case of ankylosing spondylitis associated with generalised lymphadenopathy which was the first reported in an oriental person. Several other possible cases also existed. We suggested that ankylosing spondylitis should be considered for young adult patients with lymphadenopathy.
