A member asked:

Ana 1:160 homogenous, anti ssdna 42, normal rh factor, esr, anti dsdna , neg hla b27. tests due to severe joint pain- is this indicative of lupus??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Might be.: These labs do not rule lupus out nor do they rule it in. I think your doc should keep looking and monitor your progress over time. Depending upon joints could represent parvovirus although that is just a wild guess. Your clinical picture and progress is most important.
