ANA, RF and CRP in Patients with Rheumatic Symptoms (SLE and/or RA) in the King Abdul-Aziz Hospital-Jeddah-Saudi Arabia

Abstract: Purpose of the research: This study was done to explore the ANA, RF and CRP in the patients with some of Rheumatic Symptoms Materials and methods:The studies were done for 103 patients with Rheumatic Symptoms and were included in this study and their sera tested for the presence of Antinuclear Antibody (ANA), Rheumatoid Factor (RF), and Creactive protein (CRP). Results:The results showed that 33% of the patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosis (SLE) had+ve ANA, the remainder 67% of patients were with Rheumat… Show more

“…High level of Rheumatoid factor (RF) is happen because of increasing immune responses to infection, in addition caused by other autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus. This result was agreement with others who found the rheumatoid factor levels are higher in patients when compared with control group Table (1) (18).This result was disagree with other study who observed tonsillectomy may reduce the risk of RA development, because the surgery may eliminate an essential focus of infection (19). Other study agree with our results considered that tonsillectomy increased the risk of developing RA, but noted that the an earlier tonsillectomy for patients causes signifi cantly lower titers of RF than those who did not, this fi nding is important because it implicates chronic tonsillar infection cause in the generation of RF (20).…”

“…As with the effect of CRP estimation on endorsing of anti-infection agents in patients with respiratory tract contaminations, however, there are inconsistent outcomes [25,26] . RF levels were higher in tonsillitis than in control bunch in Table (1)(2), and in tonsillitis than non-tonsillitis bunch in Table (1-3) [27,28].…”
