There are no formal statistics about the incidence, prevalence or demographics of patients with spondyloarthropathies (SpAs) in Colombia. However, information from a few studies provides a preliminary snapshot of SpAs in the country. In this article, the authors review what has been published; document what their group is doing and outline what they still need to do in the future. The analysis suggests that although information on SpA in Colombia is limited, it is known that the diagnostic entities of SpA are different than those reported at other latitudes. Thus, it is important to improve and expand the current database of SpA, particularly undifferentiated SpA, not only in Colombia but in all of Latin America.
