• psoriatic arthritis (a disease causing red, scaly patches on the skin with inflammation of the joints);
• rheumatoid arthritis (a disease causing inflammation of the joints);
• axial spondyloarthritis (inflammation of the spine causing back pain), including ankylosing spondylitis and when there are clear signs of inflammation but X-ray does not show disease;

• Crohn’s disease (a disease causing inflammation of the gut);
• ulcerative colitis (a disease causing inflammation and ulcers in the lining of the gut);
