Low lymphocyte subset numbers relate to a specific cluster of ANA positivity. (A) CD4 + T cell, (B) CD8 + T cell, (C) B cell and (D) NK cell counts in women positive for anti-dsDNA, anti-Sm, anti-Sm/RNP, anti-RNP and anti-chromatin antibodies compared to women negative for respective antibody. (E) CD4 + T cell, (F) CD8 + T cell, (G) B cell and (H) NK cell counts in women negative to ANA, positive to one to two ANA or positive to three to five ANA. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001 (A-D) Mann–Whitney U test, (E–H) Kruskal–Wallis followed by Dunn’s multiple comparison test
