Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by sacroiliitis and spondylitis, with a few hematological abnormalities. Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a heterogeneous group of hematopoietic stem cell disorders with frequent autoimmune phenomena. The relationship between AS and MDS remains unknown.
