ABSTRACT
Abstract Vitiligo is a very common disease and is suspected to be autoimmune in its pathogenesis. Many autoimmune complications, such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, are reportedly associated with vitiligo. The pathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is also suspected to be autoimmune, triggered by some infection. We report a 56-year-old man with concurrent vitiligo and AS, and suggest that both diseases could have a common autoimmune background.
