- Abstract
Objective. Autoantibodies directed against the aminoacyl tRNA synthetases are associated with myositis, arthritis, Raynaud's phenomenon, mechanic's hands, fever and interstitial pneumonia, clinically referred to as the anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS). The aim of this study was to characterize the autoantibody profile in a patient with clinical features of ASS whose routine diagnostic testing was negative for the previously identified anti-synthetase autoantibodies.
