No etiologic role of human T-lymphotropic virus type II (HTLV-II) in any disease is yet known. The present study showed a high incidence of HTLV-II proviral DNA fragments in DNA of peripheral blood leukocytes from patients with autoimmune thyroid diseases. Using primers for the pol and tax regions o

We have assayed for the presence of human polyomaviruses in urine of autoimmune disease patients, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Sjogren's syndrome (SS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), or dermatomyositis/polymyositis (DM/PM), by PCR. The results indicate that approximately 40% of patients w
## Abstract ## Introduction: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) associated with autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) is a complex and well recognized autoimmune disorder. Careful monitoring/surveillance of thyroid gland functioning and active treatment of SLE patients with coexisting AITD, typically
We evaluated the epitopic specificity pattern of anti-human thyroglobulin (anti-hTg) autoantibodies from patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome (SS). All of the primary SS sera tested contained both IgC and IgM anti-hTg autoantibodies recognizing at least 1 region on hTg; in 65% of the cases, 3 or
