Systemic lupus erythematosus and nephritis: severe relapse with disappearance of antinuclear antibodies.

Exacerbations of systemic lupus erythematosus with active renal disease are almost always associated with high plasma titres of antinuclear factor (ANF) and DNA-binding antibody (anti-ds DNA). We describe a patient with classical systemic lupus erythematosus and initial high titres of antinuclear an...
