Symptom #3: Low Fever
Fevers are actually very useful to us, especially before the days of modern medicine. Before medicine, our bodies were left to fend for themselves against disease but, thankfully, we have some very effective weapons in our arsenal. One of these is a fever which helps to make the body an inhospitable place for pathogens.
Ankylosing spondylitis is the result of an overactive immune system and this can cause what is known as systemic symptoms. Once such symptom is a low fever, which can come and go or may remain more persistently. The fever itself is not necessarily a threat to the patient.
