I suffered from viral fever one month ago. After 2 to 3 days I got red rashes all over my body. Dengue and Chikungunya tests were negative. Now, since one month I am suffering from acute joint pain. My blood report for ANA is strongly positive. Please suggest?

A strongly positive ANA and ongoing joint pain may suggest autoimmune involvement like lupus or another connective tissue disorder. Consult a rheumatologist for accurate diagnosis.

Take a ANTI NUCLEAR ANTIBODY (ANA) Test or Take a Anti Ds DNA test Test

Doctor, my ANA test report is positive at 2.86, and my ESR is 25 mm/hr. Could you please explain what these results indicate?

I have had two miscarriages, one at 14 weeks and another at 12 weeks. My doctor advised me to do some tests, including APLAS, ELISA, EIA, IgM, and IgG. I have received my reports, but I am not sure how to read them. Please help me understand whether my reports are negative or positive.

My mom has had fever for the last 12 to 13 days along with severe headache. I consulted a physician who prescribed antibiotics and painkillers. We also did several tests including blood and urine, but nothing abnormal was found. However, after taking the medicines, her fever seems to be getting higher. The doctor is still unable to identify the reason for her fever. What could be the possible cause?
