Objective: This study aimed to describe the clinical spectrum of primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) patients with anti-Ro/SS-A and anti-La/SS-B negativity.
Patients And Methods: From a single-center study population of consecutive SS patients fulfilling the 2016 ACR-EULAR classification criteria, those with triple seronegativity anti-Ro/SS-A (anti-Sjögren's-syndrome-related antigen A autoantibody), anti-La/SS-B (anti-Sjögren's-syndrome-related antigen B autoantibody), rheumatoid factor (RF) (-) and antinuclear antibody (ANA)(+)] or [anti-Ro/SS-A(-), anti-La/ SS-B(-), RF(+) and ANA(-)] and quad¬ruple seronegativity [anti-Ro/SS-A(-), anti-La/SS-B(-), RF(-) and ANA(-)] were identified retrospectively. Clinical, serological, and laboratory features were compared.
The objective of this study was to assess the pregnancy outcomes in a cohort of patients who experienced pregnancies before and/or after being diagnosed with Takayasu's arteritis (TA).
