A member asked:
Postive 1:80 speckled ana and 43 esr , however esr was taken same day as bad sinus infection... could this have affected it ? joint pain has subsided
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's possible: ESR 43 is high for sinus infection. However, it could interfere with knowing actual ESR associated with your main problem. Discuss with your doctor, but my bet is that s/he will suggest repeating the ESR when the sinusitis has been gone a few weeks. In the meantime, the ESR level itself is harmless; improvement in joint pain (and maybe other symptoms) probably is more imporant.
