“…In the present study, 56.8% of the RA patients were found positive to anti-CCP antibodies while 77.8% were positive to RF antibodies. Unlike earlier studies (Gupta et al, 2009), only 0.05% of RF-negative RA patients were found positive for anti-CCP antibodies in the study group.…”

“…The diagnostic and prognostic value for detection of anti-CCP antibodies was shown to be specific to RA patients in various populations (Dubucquoi et al, 2004;Vallbracht and Helmke, 2005;Gupta et al, 2009). In the present study, 56.8% of the RA patients were found positive to anti-CCP antibodies while 77.8% were positive to RF antibodies.…”

“…RF (Rheumatoid Factor) assay is 54% to 88% sensitive and 48% to 92% specific, and it is frequently detected in hepatitis and other connective tissue diseases. Among the new antibodies described in the recent years in patients with RA, Anticyclic Citrullinated Peptide (Anti-CCP) antibodies are very specific for RA [7]. A greater number of RA studies in India may include the anti-CCP antibody assay in the future, as its ability to diagnose patients with RA correctly, is established.…”

“…Most studies on the diagnostic utility of the aCCP test in RA have been done in industrialized countries on subjects of European ancestry [6], with only a few done in the developing world [7][8][9][10]. In the absence of any published studies on the prevalence and specificity of aCCP in RA in sub-Saharan Africa, we undertook a cross-sectional case-control study to establish the diagnostic utility of the RF and aCCP tests in urbanized Black South Africans with early RA.…”
