Özet

Background: Recognition of nuclear dense fine speckled (DFS) pattern by indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) is not easy. Thus, confirming the presence of these antibodies might be needed. In this study, we aimed to determine the frequency of DFS pattern in our diagnostic laboratory and to investigate the presence of anti-DFS70 antibodies in samples showing DFS pattern by two commercially available research kits retrospectively.
