Abstract

The prevalance of autoantibodies, Antinuclear antibody (ANA), rheumatoid factor (RF), anti-ds DNA, anti-thyroglobulin (anti-T) and anti-microsomal antibodies (anti-M) were investigated in 211 healthy adults. Two young female subjects of ages 17 and 18, were positive against T and M antibodies, while all were negative for RF and anti-ds DNA antibodies.
