title: [The meaning of antinuclear antibodies and of the ASL O titer in rheumatic diseases (author's transl)].
abstract: Iritis, Iridocyclitis, Uveitis and Scleritis are sometimes caused by rheumatic diseases. Antinuclear antibodies of 64 patients with high ASL O titer and Antinuclear antibodies of 24 patients with negativ ASL O titer were investigated. The results demonstrate the existance of autoantibodies in many cases. These may be caused by autoimmuno-diseases or could be related directly to ophthalmic disorder.
