Predictive value of SS - B precipitating antibodies in Sjogren ' s syndrome D A ISENBERG , LINDA HAMMOND , C FISHER

Use of anticholinergic drugs in treatment of duodenal ulcers is limited by the side effects of widespread parasympathetic blockade evoked by usual therapeutic doses. A study. was conducted into the effectiveness of transdermal delivery of hyoscine methobromide using a new system which releases the drug into the circulation at a controlled rate. In six patients whose duodenal ulcer had healed se...

Precipitating antibodies in mycoplasma infection.

The effectiveness of counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIEP) for detecting human precipitating antibodies to mcyoplasma antigen was compared with the conventional complement fixation (CF) method in a double-blind experiment. Fifty-one sera from patients suspected of having acute mycoplasma infection were tested by both techniques. Dense precipitin lines to mycoplasma antigen developed in 28 sera wi...

Tear fluid measurement of anti-SS-A and anti-SS-B antibody in anti-SS-A and anti-SS-B seronegative Sjögren's syndrome patients.

Sirs, In the US/European Consensus Group (EUCG) classification criteria for Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) objective items, such as focal sialadenitis and serum presence of antiSS-A and anti-SS-B antibodies (anti-SS-A, anti-SS-B), are emphasized (1). In the sera of approximately 20% of SS patients no anti-SS-A or anti-SS-B can be detected at the time of diagnosis. However, in these ‘seronegative’ pati...
