tbrownerski - Pathogens and auto-antigens

[Guest guest]

You might be interested in the several kinds of autoantibodies found

at a significantly higher rate in normal pulmonary tuberculosis than

in healthy controls. As I recall, rheumatoid factor (which I guess is

one diagnostic marker for RA) is one of them.

If youre new here, welcome. Keep us updated on your treatment

experiences, I'm interested.
