The authors report 6 cases of hip disease with macrocavities during ankylosing spondylarthritis, including 5 cases from a series of 57 coxites which occurred in 34 patients out of 340 ankylosing spondylarthritis, observed at Hospital Begin, between 1973 and 1982. In light of their observations, they propose a classification of the hip manifestations of ankylosing spondylarthritis. The hip involvement with microcavities in ankylosing spondyloarthritis is quite different from coxites with macrocavities present in rheumatoid polyarthritis, and represent more likely a post-inflammatory arthritic type of hip disease than a particular form of coxitis. Hip disease with macrocavities in ankylosing spondylarthritis is a severe form of hip disease, and frequently requires the installation of a total prosthetic replacement.

The clinical features of acute Brucella arthritis were reported in a prospective study of 58 patients (29 male, 29 female). Polyarthritis occurred in 33, was migratory in ten, additive in 23 and symmetrical in ten. Monoarthritis of knee or hip joints occurred in ten patients, whilst the spine alone was involved in 15. Hip and spinal involvement was more destructive than peripheral joint involvement. Hotness, redness and joint effusions were not prominent features. Tissue-typing did not show any association with Brucella arthritis. Treatment with various antimicrobials was followed by recovery, but the relapse rate was lowest with combined tetracycline and streptomycin. Brucella arthritis is frequently seen in Iraq, and dairy products prepared locally from unpasteurized milk should be controlled by local health authorities.
