Assessment of myositis specific antibodies in primary chronic arthritis: single centre prospective study
MSAs positivity may be observed in one third of patients with primary isolated arthritis. About half of these cases displayed full or weak positivity for MSAs, whereas the remaining half displayed borderline results. Clinicians should be aware that MSA should be assessed only in case of effective clinical need.
