Occasional arthralgia without objective symptoms was also common. After termination of the first stage, 20 patients (20%) had become entirely asymptomatic. The disease resulted in permanent disability in 42 cases (42%). The importance of prostatitis, as a focus of infection in this disease, seems open to doubt. The control study was based on 100 men; examination of the prostate and roentgenography of the sacro‐iliac joints and lumbar spine were performed.
