Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

* Evaluate the correlation of ultrasound MASEI index with clinical, functional, radiographic and laboratorial variables in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
* Evaluate correlation between articular (shoulders, hips, knees and ankles) ultrasound (synovitis, erosions, power doppler) with same variables.
* Evaluate correlation between articular and enthesis ultrasound exam in this study.
* Compare patients and healthy individuals data, to calculate the ROC curve to estimate predictor value of disease.
