Anachoice r screen positive. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
By itself, not much.: In a setting where a rheumatologic disease is likely, anachoice can confirm, or narrow down, the diagnosis, but it is so often positive in perfectly healthy people that it can't be used as a screening tool.
