NO LAUGHING MATTER - SPONDYLOARTHROPATHY AND OSTEOARTHRITIS IN HYAENIDAE

The etiology of arthritis in Hyaenidae has been a subject of conjecture. While osteoarthritis has been considered, the observation of an erosive arthritis prompted a systematic survey of museum specimens to define its nature and frequency. Spondyloarthropathy was a common erosive arthritis present in all species of Hyaenidae. Present at twice the frequency of osteoarthritis, it is a significant health consideration.

CHARACTER OF PRE-COLUMBIAN NORTH-AMERICAN SPONDYLOARTHROPATHY

Shared characteristics and concurrent occurrence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthropathy in contemporary populations have compromised development of clear diagnostic criteria for distinguishing them. Although modern populations contain individuals with both RA and spondyloarthropathy, ancient populations often manifest only one. The presence of spondyloarthropathy as the sole erosive disease in selected ancient populations allows further clarification of its nature. The tendency towards pauciarticular, asymmetrical involvement, axial involvement and peripheral joint fusion in these populations clarifies diagnosis and distinguishes this phenomenon from RA. The significance of peripheral joint fusion appears to be unequivocally established on the basis of these findings.
