Background: Anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy used in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been associated with induction of autoantibodies including antinuclear antibodies (ANA), double-strand (ds) DNA antibodies, and the occurrence of lupus-like syndrome (LLS). However, the cl
## Abstract ## Objective To investigate why the serum of a pediatric patient with systemic lupus erythematosus was persistently (>30 months) and strongly positive for antibodies to double‐stranded DNA (dsDNA) as revealed by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), but yielded negative results on
We describe a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus who, after a disease flare, sequentially produced antibodies to specific Sm polypeptides (demonstrated by counterimmunoelectrophoresis, immunoblotting, and RNA immunoprecipitation) concomitantly with the disappearance of anti-double-stranded DN
