  • Marie-Strümpell Disease: Named after the physicians who first described it, Marie-Strümpell Disease is an older term for Ankylosing Spondylitis.

  • Bechterew's Disease: This name is derived from the Russian physician Vladimir Bechterew, who made significant contributions to the understanding of Ankylosing Spondylitis. Bechterew's Disease is another historical term for Ankylosing Spondylitis.

  • AS: AS is the commonly used abbreviation for Ankylosing Spondylitis, which is often used in medical literature, discussions, and patient support groups.

  • AS Disease: AS Disease is a simple abbreviation that is sometimes used to refer to Ankylosing Spondylitis.


It is important to note that while these terms are often used interchangeably, they all refer to the same condition - Ankylosing Spondylitis. The choice of terminology may vary depending on the context, region, or personal preference of healthcare professionals or individuals discussing the disease.
