The role of autoantibodies in post-chikungunya viral arthritis disease severity by Samantha Ansah-Dico, Ilana Heckler, Michelle Premazzi Papa, Alfonso Sucerquia Hernández, Jose Forero Mejía, Sarah Renee Tritsch, Evelyn Mendoza-Torres, Liliana Encinales, Andres Cadena Bonfanti, Abigale Marie Proctor, Jessica M. Wells, Daniela Díaz Hernández, Juan Manuel Pretelt Gazabon, Mónica Gómez Pulido, Sara Camila Castiblanco-Arroyave, Sammuel Joseph Simmens, Rebecca Lynch, Aileen Yu-hen Chang

“…Weak correlations between rheumatoid factor IgM with arthritis severity and pain (P < 0.01) and anti-CEP1 with disability (P < 0.05) were observed when unadjusted for multiple comparisons. The data suggest that autoantibodies, such as RF, anti-CCP, and anti-CEP-1, do not correlate with post-chikungunya arthritis disease severity, thus unlikely to significantly contribute to pathogenesis. …”
