A member asked:
Can you have an autoimmune disease even if every test comes back negative ? they ran a lot multiple times
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Auto immune disease: Though unlikely it is possible. There are many tests doctors perform as indicated by clinical features. It is difficult to presume what you ' mean by all tests' as there are numerous tests to evaluate auto immune disease . Many of auto immune disease tests are interpreted in conjunction with your symptoms and what the doctors find in their exams.
