Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of antinuclear antibody ( ANA+dsDNA),extractable nuclear antigen (ENA) and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) on the clinical manifestation and cerebrospinal fluid characteristics of neuromyelitis optica (NMO).Methods All 41 patients with NMO in PUMC hospital from 1985 to 2009 were retrospectively reviewed.All patients underwent examination of serum ANA+dsDNA,ENA and ANCA.Fourteen positive-autoantibody patients were compared with 27negative-autoantibody patients in gender,onset age,duration,relapse ratio,first demyelination event,the extent of optic neuritis and myelitis,EDSS,CSF protein,WBC,Oligoclonal band, 24 hours IgG index and myelin basic protein.Results The 14 NMO patients (34.1%) had positive non-organ-specific antibodies.NMO patients who had negative autoantibodies were compared with NMO patients with positive autoantibodies with significantly higher EDSS (the EDSS score were 4.5 and 2.5 respectively,U=92.5,P=0.008),more complete damage of spinal cord (3/14 vs 0/27, x2=6.736, P=0.0095) and tended to have higher visual Function Scale in remitting phase.There was no significant difference on the gender,onset age,duration,relapse ratio,first demyelination event.The positive-autoantibody patients had higher CSF WBC (2.0 vs 0,U=68.0,P=0.007) and tended to have lower 24 hours IgG index (-8.663 vs 0.163,U=30.0,P=0.053).There was no significant difference in CSF protein,MBP and OB.Conclusion NMO patients with positive autoantibodies have more severe intrathecal autoimmune inflammatory and disability,so they might need more intensive treatment.
