| Abstract: |
The study is undertaken to assess the value of anticyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (antiCCP Abs) as specific serological marker for the diagnosis of RA and its relation to disease activity. It is also meant to explore if this marker can be used to distinguish between RA patients and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected patients with articular manifestations |
