title: The significance of some immunoserologic diagnostic tests in systemic diseases.
abstract: The sensitivity and specificity of immunoserologic tests included in the diagnostic criteria of systemic lupus erythematosus are shown. The frequencies of some rare autoantibodies (PCNA, PL-4, SL, PM-Scl, Scl-70, Jo-1) in systemic connective tissue diseases of mixed Yugoslav population are demonstrated. The results from different laboratories differ considerably and the possible reasons are described.
