Anti-filaggrin antibodies were found in one case, anti-fodrin antibodies in 2 cases. Cryoglobulins, CCI and RF were frequent in the assessed group. Most patients had different symptoms simultaneously. In HCV infected patients arthralgias have a different mechanism than in rheumatoid arthritis – although RF IgM is frequently found. Patients have often cryoglobulinaemia and complexaemia. Anti-SSA, anti-SSB and anti-fodrin antibodies are rare in HCV-infected patients. Sicca syndrome in HCV infection is frequent, but the aetiology is probably different than in classic Sjögren’s syndrome. %A Jabłońska, Joanna %A Ząbek, Jakub %P 315-320 %9 journal article %U https://www.termedia.pl/Original-paper-Immunological-disturbances-in-HCV-infected-patients-with-arthralgia,18,9495,1,1.html
