Relations between anti-C-reactive protein autoantibody (anti-CRP) levels and systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI)/modified SLEDAI (mSLEDAI) scores in the 10 SLE patients. Anti-CRP results are given as optical density (OD). In three cases (HG, AM and DD), high levels of anti-CRP preceded the peak mSLEDAI score.
