There were no lesions on the head or neck or other locations. The patient’s ANA was positive at a titer of 1:40, in a speckled pattern, and SS-A antibody was positive at 1.4 (nl < 1.0). Histopathology was consistent with subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus. Conclusion:

Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) are frequently present in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and, less commonly, in other autoimmune diseases Rheumatoid arthritis, Collagen vascular diseases, chronic liver diseases and systemic sclerosis (scleroderma). ANA bind to several nuclear antigens including DsDNA, SSDNA, RNP, Sm, SSA and SSB.
What Is ANA-Negative Lupus?
Systemic lupus erythematosus is usually diagnosed following identification of circulating autoantibodies commonly including anti-nuclear (ANA), double-stranded DNA and anti-Smith antibodies. This patient had an ANA titre of 1/160 (common in the general population) and was negative for these other antibodies. The kidney is commonly involved. 1

Testing for antibodies against nuclear antigens can be helpful in the diagnosis of diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and scleroderma. The National Consensus Conference on Guidelines for ANA testing was published by Kavanaugh et al. in January, 2000.1 Those Guidelines stress that improper use of ANA testing can lead to misinformation ...

ANA alone has a low positive predictive value for SLE so it is unlikely to be useful in patient populations with a low prevalence of systemic lupus erythematosus (e.g. the elderly). A negative ANA test does not rule out systemic lupus erythematosus – if you have strong clinical indications, contact the lab for …
