It could: Lupus is best diagnosed by a rheumatologist and involves a combination of both symptoms and laboratory tests, which as you note, test for autoimmune activity.

Lupus very possible: The symptoms you describe make lupus a distinct possibility. Often the ANA is the only positive autoantibody in patients with lupus. Many people believe the parvo test is positive when it really means previous exposure and not active disease. Was the igm portion positive or just the igg parvo?
