Abstract
Summary In clinical and laboratory examinations carried out since 1954 we found the combination of SLE, RA, DLE and Sjögren's syndrome in 33 % of 771 patients. In 61 % of our 171 LE cell-positive cases there was classical RA which is a further proof of the close connection between these two diseases.Keywords
