Guest guest Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Doctors, If we suspect auto-immune inflammatory condition, is this still the go to? I have a patient who was given the ANA test and it was negative. There seems to be a lot of false negatives with that test, but wondered if I should inquire about the HLAB27 as well. This is the patient that had a disc bulges of L4/L5..L5/S1 with weird complete numbness of lower right leg as only symptom and a weird burning in T12 area and intercostal which when you follow the rib anteriorly she claims it feels like someone punched her at/near the costo/chondral connection at sternum. Her family hx is what makes me think auto-immune. Grandma and sister both have Lupus. ph Medlin D.C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
