HLA B27 is ordered to check for:

ankylosing spondylitis (AS), reactive arthritis. Reactive arthritis can be an infection in the joints. Ankylosiing spondylitis is a type of chronic spinal arthritis. So, another way is to use a need and take a sample from the joint and culture it or do PCR to see if you have an infection there. But this is less invasive.  The reactive arthritis is not really an autoimmune disease but the ankylosing spondylitis is. So I 'm not sure how they can differentiate which one it is from this test it is more of a screen for both then they would go from there.

Osteoarthritis isn't caused by an infection. It is a wear and tear or wearing down type of thing. If that is what the Xray means. I would ask the doctor to be sure.

This may be osteoarthritis of the knees. I have it in my hips. You would have to ask the doctor to be sure that "narrowing" means osteoarthritis (OA). It usually means that the buffering or cushioning that keeps your knees from grinding is getting low so that you will start feeling pain. Some things that may help are to not jog or do things that  "pound the pavement"  , lose weight and then there may be some new injections that are something like stem cells or where they take some cells from your joints grow more up in the lab and inject them back into your knees so that you won't run out of the protective layer. Eventually you will get bone on bone grinding that will really hurt. This is assuming you have OA. it sounds like it. I was told not to jog or play tennis any more. But it can still progress for me too.
