A member asked:
If ana is positive 1:320 pattern is nucleolar n malar rash but was on minocycline 4months isn't falsepositive or induced lupus is homogeneous pattern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ANA explanation: Usually drug induced lupus or drug induced ANA patterns are antihistones and are homogeneous. Nucleolar patterns of ANA (antinuclear antibodies) are associated with Progressive Systemic Sclerosis. By itself an antinuclear antibody test that is positive is not a diagnosis.
