Summary

This study aims to see if there is a connection between two types of inflammatory conditions: one affecting the spine and joints (spondylarthritis) and another affecting blood vessels (giant cell arteritis) or muscles (polymyalgia rheumatica). Researchers will compare 10 adults who have both conditions to those who have only the blood vessel or muscle condition. The goal is to find differences in patient characteristics that might help doctors better understand these diseases.
