[Rheumatoid factors in Basedow's disease].

W A Scherbaum, K O Rosenau, F J Seif

    Zeitschrift Fur Rheumatologie
    |November 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Rheumatoid factors are common in untreated Basedow's disease, detected by Waaler-Rose and Latex tests. These factors often decrease after the acute stage, suggesting shared mechanisms with rheumatoid arthritis.

    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Immunology

    Context:

    • Basedow's disease (Graves' disease) is an autoimmune disorder.
    • Rheumatoid factors (RFs) are autoantibodies often associated with autoimmune diseases.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the prevalence and behavior of rheumatoid factors in patients with untreated Basedow's disease.
    • To explore potential pathogenetic links between Basedow's disease and rheumatoid arthritis.

    Summary:

    • The Waaler-Rose test detected rheumatoid factors in 61.5% of 143 patients with untreated Basedow's disease.
    • The Latex test was positive in 9.2% of 152 patients; in most cases, RFs decreased or became negative after the acute disease subsided.
    • Positive RFs persisting after the acute phase were often associated with co-existing rheumatic disease.

    Impact:

    • Identifies rheumatoid factors as potential biomarkers in Basedow's disease.
    • Suggests that polyarthritis in Basedow's disease may share underlying autoimmune mechanisms with rheumatoid arthritis.
    • Highlights the importance of considering rheumatic comorbidities in patients with Basedow's disease.
