Richard I. Horowitz Quotes

This Is Usually Accomplished By Taking X-rays Of The Affected Joints And Analyzing Blood For An ANA And Rheumatoid Factor (RF). Unfortunately, Lyme Disease Can Cause False Positive ANAs And Rheumatoid Factors Due To A Patient's Overstimulated Immune System. This Can Lead To A Mistaken Diagnosis Of Lupus Or Rheumatoid Arthritis. This Is Why Drawing A CCP (cyclic Citrullinated Peptide) Is So Important. It Is A Specific Marker For Rheumatoid Arthritis And Will Help Determine Whether The Patient Has True Rheumatoid Arthritis Or Not. Patients With A Positive ANA Or RF Often Are Prescribed Immunosuppressive Drugs, Such As Steroids Or Immunomodulatory Drugs, Like Enbrel Or Arava. These Treatments Can Have Dire Consequences For The Lyme Disease Patient Who Is Co-infected, Since They Are Already Immune-suppressed, And Steroids Can Cause Their Underlying Infections And Subsequent Manifestations
