  • Title: Systemic lupus erythematosus diagnosed during interferon alfa therapy.
    Author: Morris LF, Lemak NA, Arnett FC, Jordon RE, Duvic M.
    Journal: South Med J; 1996 Aug; 89(8):810-4. PubMed ID: 8701383.
    Abstract:
    We describe a patient who had clinical manifestations of several autoimmune disorders: Sjögren's syndrome, benign hypergammaglobulinemic purpura of Waldenström, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The SLE was diagnosed during therapy with interferon alfa. Testing for anti-Ro and anti-La antibodies was negative until the serum was diluted to eliminate a possible prozone phenomenon of antibody excess.
