Also, the ANA patterns of nuclear homogeneous, coarse speckled, and centromeric were highly specific for patients with ARDs, while the nuclear dense fine speckled pattern only appeared in healthy ...

Our results imply that certain ANA patterns, such as the nuclear homogeneous and the nuclear coarse speckled pattern, should direct a thorough clinical and laboratory investigation to unravel a ...

Healthy participants did not present a nuclear coarse speckled (NCS) or a nuclear homogeneous (Ho) pattern. In those with autoimmune disease the ANA-HEp-2 showed positive results at a ...
