A member asked:
Can i still possibly have drug induced lupus with a negative ana and normal anti histone ? all symptoms point to it but all labs negative. i do take high risk medications?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Typically, with drug-induced lupus, the anti-histone would be abnormal. So, see a rheumatologist to determine if drug-induced lupus can be diagnosed in your case based on symptoms alone or if there is an alternate diagnosis to explain your symptoms. Good luck to you!

Neg ana. Anti ds DNA indeterminate (value 6) 0-4 neg, 5-9 indeterminate, 10+ pos. All other labs normal. Possible lupus? No real other symptoms.
