Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Participants voluntarily participate and sign an informed consent form; 2. 18 years old = 4cm, total back pain >= 4cm on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), or >= 1-hour morning stiffness; 5. Poor response or adverse reactions to >= 2 NSAIDs drugs (such as cyborides, etoposide, etc.) or traditional synthetic DMARDs (such as methotrexate, sulfasalazine, leflunomide, or alamod, etc.); 6. Meet one of the following conditions: (1) Have not received treatment with biological agents to improve the condition and anti rheumatic drugs (bDMARD na ï ve); (2) Discontinue treatment with = 12 weeks), or develop adverse reactions due to intolerance (regardless of treatment duration); (3) For patients who have been previously exposed to two types of bDMARD biologics, it is allowed to have adverse reactions due to a lack of efficacy in one biologics bDMARD and intolerance to the other, but patients cannot have a lack of efficacy in both biologics bDMARD; 7. There is laboratory or histological evidence of combined streptococcal infection, meeting one of the following conditions: (1) ASO or ADNS>normal range; (2) FISH test positive (indicating the presence of streptococcal RNA);

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Lack of efficacy and intolerance to etanercept; 2. Allergies to experimental drugs (such as penicillin, etanercept, or vitamin C), such as urticaria; 3. Has a history of significant illnesses, including but not limited to those that the investigator believes may interfere with the research procedure and/or evaluation of cardiovascular, renal, gastrointestinal, and lymphatic diseases; 4. Nasopharyngitis, tuberculosis, inflammatory bowel disease and other infections (hepatitis B, HIV, syphilis, etc.), other rheumatic immune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, etc.), malignant tumors, active gastrointestinal ulcer/bleeding, and other bone and joint diseases; 5.

Evidence of renal insufficiency, estimated creatinine clearance at screening 2 biological agents (e.g., monoclonal antibodies, including marketed drugs); (3) Use of traditional Chinese medicine within 28 days prior to randomization; 12. Current enrollment or prior participation in clinical studies with investigational drugs within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever longer) after signing informed consent; 13. Subjects are immediate family of investigators or staff assisting the study (secretaries, nurses, technicians); 14. Unlikely to comply with protocol (e.g., uncooperative attitude, inability to return for follow-up, inability to complete daily e-logs) and/or deemed by investigator unlikely to complete the study; 15. Acute streptococcal infection: clinical manifestations including acute pharyngitis, acute tonsillitis, scarlet fever, or streptococcal pyoderma; 16. Recent/planned pregnancy.
