Abstract
23% of a random selection of ANCA (+) patients had dual, non-cross reactive autoantibody specificities. We found no clinical difference in such patients as compared to those having a single antibody. A second group of ANCA (+) patients had neither anti-MPO nor anti-PR3 autoantibody specificity. These findings suggest that multiple, coincident ANCA specificities occur more commonly than previously reported, and that additional, unidentified ANCA specificities are present in some patients.
