Ankylosing spondylitis belongs to group of Rheumatic disease known as spondyloarthropathies which show a strong association with genetic marker HLA-B27. Whereas the incidence of HLA-B27 is less than 1 percent in general population, it is present in more than 85% of patients with ankylosing spondylitis. In-flammatory back pain and stiffness are prominent early in the disease whereas chronic aggressive disease may produce pain and marked axial immobility and deformity. HLA-B27 is the most common findings in Ankylosing Spondylitis. In Ayurveda, no typical nomenclature has been found for the said disease but considering all sing and symptom of the patients, it can be treated as Asthimajjagata vata. No satisfactory treatment is available in modern medicine for this disorder. Various Panchakarma procedures and Ayur-vedic drugs have been proved useful for these manifestations. The patient was considered suffering from Asthimajjagat Vata (HLA-B27) and was treated with Guduchi, Dashamool and Erandmool as Niruha and Bala-guduchyadi Tail as Anuvasana for 16 days as Kal basti followed by Panchatikta ksheera sarpi Basti for 14 days (1 month) was given. Patients condition was assessed for symptoms of Asthimajjagat Vata (HLA-B27 positive). This study shows successfully managed with Ayurvedic treatment.
