GARCIA MUNITIS, Pablo; RUIZ DIAZ, Marta; ETCHEVERRY, Mayra e SCHIEL, Amalia. Review: What to do with a positive test for antinuclear antibodies in Pediatrics?. Rev. argent. reumatolg. [online]. 2018, vol.29, n.4, pp.40-43. ISSN 0327-4411.
The antinuclear antibodies are present in many systemic autoimmune diseases. Their presence may be indicative of a rheumatic disease; however, these autoantibodies may also be present in healthy children or infections. We present a patient with musculoskeletal pain and ANA positivity. When definite signs and symptoms have not been developed, the ANA positivity has no diagnostic significance.
