A member asked:
I have various autoimmune illnesses including lupus, mctd, sfn and a positive titer that is a nuclear speckled pattern. however, im getting a low titer pattern of 1:40 with a cytoplasmic pattern via ifa staining. could this be vasculitis?

Vasculitis is not a named disease but a symptom of other problems. Presumably you're in the care of a rheumatologist or other expert in autoimmune diseases. Keep working with her. Good luck.
