ABSTRACT

Clinical immunology laboratories have an essential role in diagnosing autoimmune connective tissue diseases. Certain autoantibodies are considered specific for particular diagnoses and have been used as disease markers. Moreover, some of these autoantibodies are associated with specific clinical symptoms or subsets of disease and are useful in monitoring the involvement of certain organs and predicting outcome. In this article we review the clinical utility of autoantibodies described in autoimmune diseases that have often an impact on the skin.
