Spondylodiscitis (Andersson lesion) in psoriatic spondyloarthritis: a rare event successfully treated with an anti-TNF therapy.

Spondylodiscitis (Andersson lesion) is an infrequent and late complication of advanced ankilosing arthritis. Scanty data on the efficacy of anti-TNF therapy for these lesions are available. To our knowledge, only few cases of spondylodiscitis occurring in patients with psoriatic arthritis were reported in literature. We describe the case of a patient with psoriatic arthritis who early developed Andersson lesions successfully treated with infliximab plus methotrexate therapy.
