Popis: Summary Detected by indirect immunofluorescence, antinucleolar autoantibodies (ANoA) constitute a heterogeneous group of autoantibodies, found in various autoimmune diseases. To assess their importance and clinical interest, we have selected 200 patients with positive ANoA detected between 2007 and 2010. ANoA represent 2.1% of the antinuclear antibodies conducted in the laboratory. ANoA are detected, half in autoimmune diseases (systemic scleroderma [SSc], lupus, rheumatoid arthritis…), and half in other diseases: thrombosis, transplant, cancer… ANoA are rarely indicative of SSc (8,8%) unless they fulfill the following conditions: an elevated titer (> 1/1280), a nucleolar homogeneous staining, and an associated speckled nucleus staining. Such criteria are indicative of anti-PM/Scl or anti-Scl70, two ScS specific autoAb.
