Abstract
Sera from 367 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and from 102 patients with other non-organspecific (NOS) autoimmune diseases were examined for the presence of organ-specific (OS) autoantibodies. The incidence of these OS autoantibodies was not increased in patients with NOS autoimmune diseases with the exception of thyroglobulin antibodies, which were significantly more frequent in RA (PPPP<0.01).Keywords
