AS: Twenties male with chronic low back pain and positive hlab27 might be candidate for an ankylosing spondylitis diagnosis. Mri's do not image inflammation, but do show bone edge sclerosis, which reflects chronic injury. A rheumatologist might be able to advise about this problem.

22 y.o., very worried about high ige of 1909, ESR of 65, CRP 15.6, and LDH of 239. All other blood work normal. US of neck lymph nodes showed likely reactive. Normal ab CT scan. Does this sound more likely of cancer or of inflammation? Rash too.
