To diagnose AS in a female that to after 45 years of age is not common..
But still if she has been started on secukinumab..her clinical response also needs to be examined
Moreover we do these tests to look for any unsual effects of the drug..which is not very significant here
Please consult a rheumatologist for further clarifications
