Chronic active hepatitis with high level of anti-ds-DNA detected by a solid phase radioimmunoassay.
A case of chronic active hepatitis with arthralgia in a 72-year-old woman was diagnosed on the basis of biological and histological findings. High levels of anti-ds-DNA usually considered specific for systemic lupus erythematosus were detected by a very sensitive solid-phase radioimmunoassay.
