摘要：

A number of the autoimmune rheumatic diseases are associated with environmental factors, drugs and chemicals. The often non-specific presentation of these diseases makes early-diagnosis difficult. The availability of serological markers such as autoantibodies improves diagnostic ability when taken in context with the presenting clinical features. This review focuses on some of the major autoimmune rheumatic diseases and their associated autoantibody markers. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
