چکیده
RESULTS Anti-CarP antibodies were detected in 117 patients with RA (37.9%), ACPA in 190 patients (61.4%) and RF in 202 patients (65.3%). Two (2.04%) of the NHS were positive for anti-CarP, one NHS (1.02%) was positive for ACPA and three NHS were positive for RF (3.06%). Among disease controls, anti-CarP antibodies were detected in 33 patients (16.5%), ACPA in 29 patients (14.5%) and RF in 64 patients (32%). In particular, 16.8% of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and 31.1% of patients with Sjögren syndrome were positive for anti-CarP. The sensitivity of anti-CarP, ACPA and RF was 46.8, 61.8 and 64.4%, respectively and specificity was 91.95, 89.93 and 76.51%, respectively.

Prevalence, sensitivity and specificity of antibodies against carbamylated proteins in a monocentric cohort of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune rheumatic diseases
BACKGROUND Antibodies against carbamylated proteins (anti-CarP) have been recently identified in the sera of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The objective of the study was to evaluate the prevalence, sensitivity and specificity of anti-CarP compared to anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPA) and rheumatoid factor (RF), replicating the existing data in a large cohort of Italian pat...

Bacterial and viral triggers are suspected agents in the initial etiology of autoimmune diseases. There are some studies on the etiology of autoimmune disorders which have focused on streptococcal infection and a possible relation with microbial heat shock proteins (hsp) which show significant homology with human heat shock proteins. In addition, some serotypes of streptococci cross-react ...
متن کاملبررسی اندازهگیری آنتیبادی ضد سیترولین در تشخیص بیماران مبتلا به آرتریت روماتوئید و مقایسه با سایر بیماریهای روماتیسمی و افراد به ظاهر سالم
Background and Aim: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common autoimmune rheumatic disease, which requires specific diagnostic tests for it’s’ diagnosis. However specific and practical tests for its diagnosis are lacking. We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (Anti-CCP) in the diagnosis, prognosis and determination of the severity of RA.Mate...
متن کاملAnticardiolipin Antibodies in Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background: Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) can either occur as a primary syndrome or associated with other autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Anticardiolipin antibody (aCL) of IgG and/or IgM isotype in blood, measured by a standardized ELISA is the most acceptable laboratory criteria. APS IgG isotype, particularly IgG2 subclass is more strongly associated ...
