Can ankylosing spondylitis cause you to have seizures?
Ankylosing Spondylitis is an Autoimmune Disease that concerns itself mostly with your spine and trying to fuse the bones there together. Seizures are caused by a misfiring in the brain, so as far as I know (and I've done exstensive research in the Autoimmune Disease area) no, it cannot. Seizures are not a symptom of Ankylosing Spondylitis. Some pain medications can cause seizures (like Tramadol) and many diseases affect the brain. (MS, Encephalitis, etc.) but I can pretty much assure you that Ankylosing Spondylitis does not.

Not a common one, but these symptoms in an adult would indicate a potential severe complication of the flu and that emergency treatment is needed.

Seizures are always serious symptoms for which to seek urgent care by a health care professional to determine the cause and appropriate treatment, regardless of causes.
