Anti-lactoferrin antibodies (anti-LF Ab) are more frequently found in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) complicated by vasculitis when compared to patients with uncomplicated RA. Therefore the detection of anti-LF Ab in serum of patients with RA may be useful in the diagnosis of vasculitis in RA patients.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of specific autoantibodies (ANCA and ANA) in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), which can mimic autoimmune diseases.
- A total of 89 patients, mainly male and young, were included, revealing a high positivity for anti-elastase antibodies but low for ANA and anti-PR3 antibodies.
- The findings suggest that while TB patients may have elevated anti-elastase antibodies, caution is needed in interpreting ANCA results in TB-endemic areas, prompting further research into their differentiation from autoimmune conditions.

Endometriosis is a disease that is characterized by the ectopic presence of the endometrium or its similar cells. A high prevalence of patients with autoimmune diseases has been reported among patients with endometriosis although the cause of endometriosis remained unknown. Recently, the anti-lactoferrin antibody is reported to be highly detected in autoimmune diseases.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a highly prevalent disease leading to irreversible airflow limitation and is characterized by chronic pulmonary inflammation, obstructive bronchiolitis and emphysema. Etiologically, COPD is mediated by toxic gases and particles, eg, cigarette smoke, while the pathogenesis of the disease is largely unknown. Several lines of evidence indicate a link between COPD and autoimmunity but comprehensive studies are lacking.
