Can you please discuss the relationship among sle, mctd, anas, anti-rnp, myalgia, and myositis? How common is it to find these concurrent in a person?

Dr. John Chiu, University of Vermont College of Medicine Answered Feb. 14, 2014
55 years experience in Internal Medicine - Allergy & Immunology
Very common. These are all autoimmune diseases due to loss of regulation on the immune system and thus they often occur in combination or individually.
