Int J Rheum Dis. 2024 Jan;27(1):e14899. doi: 10.1111/1756-185X.14899. Epub 2023 Sep 13.

Abstract

Seronegative rheumatoid arthritis (SNRA) can be a rapid-progressing and highly disabling disease. Anti-PTX3 autoantibody may be a potential biomarker in SNRA diagnosis. SNRA patients could respond well to upadacitinib.

Keywords: anti-PTX3 positivity; seronegative rheumatoid arthritis; upadacitinib.
