COINCIDENCE OF AUTOANTIBODIES AMONG PATIENTS WITH DIFFUSE CONNECTIVE TISSUE DISORDERS by A. V. Sozina, Yu. А. Neustroeva, Т. А. Tikhomirova, S. V. Lapin

“…In the patients examined for anti-CL, ANF and anti-dsDNA, high concentration of anti-CL without detectable ANF and anti-dsDNA was found only in one case; in the rest of patients, high titers of anti-CL were associated with higher titers of ANF and anti-dsDNA, thus indicating high probability of rheumatic diseases (most likely, SLE) in these patients.Informativity of the methods used for CTD diagnostics is increased, when several autoantibodies are detected concomitantly, thus allowing optimized immunological examination of the patients with rheumatic diseases.…”
