A member asked:
Just diagnosed with sle but my le cell and ana where negativa, how is this possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: The le cell is unreliable and therefore is not used anymore. One can have lupus and a negative ANA but this is relatively unusual. You may want to consider a second opinion.
