✦ Synopsis

We have characterized 52 consecutive patients fulfilling 4 or more of the American Rheumatism Association criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus in order to provide, for the first time, a homogeneous sample for statistical comparison of antinuclear antibody (ANA)positive and ANA-negative groups. Ten patients (19%) were seronegative. There was no significant difference in age, disease activity, organ system involvement, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, immune complex levels, or C3 levels. The ANA-negative group showed a higher incidence of involvement for whites and men. Leukopenia, lower levels of antibody to DNA, and higher C4 levels were also characteristic of the ANA-negative group.

The judgment of whether a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is better or worse is a central question in patient management. Yet, John L. Decker's lament is still cogent (1): The management of systemic lupus erythematosus today is rather more of an art than a science. An artistic endea
