What happens with a positive ana test even thought i don't have a titer result yet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: A positive screen means nothing. You need a titer to know if the test is truly positive. A positive can be seen in numerous diseases and even in normals. The result needs to be correlated with the clinical picture.
