Article Synopsis
- Anti-extractable nuclear antigen antibodies (ENA) are important for diagnosing connective tissue diseases (CTDs) and have been examined using different testing methods.
- A comparison of the FIDIS system and traditional methods (INNO-LIA and immunodiffusion) showed no significant differences in sensitivity or specificity for detecting anti-ENA in CTD patients.
- The FIDIS method demonstrated acceptable sensitivity and high specificity, with overall diagnostic performance similar to that of other established testing methods.
Background: New therapeutic approaches have to be considered in the treatment of irritant contact dermatitis (ICD). Recently, phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE-4) inhibitors have been introduced as nonsteroidal, antiinflammatory agents. These agents inhibit the secretion of the cytokines thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of ICD.
