A member asked:
Can you have ana come up posative if you have a cold or a virus on the day you have your blood test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: Usually not. That is a possible issue with rheumatoid factor, but not ana. ANA positivity does not necessarily mean lupus. It is sometimes present in healthy individuals.
