Abstract

O lúpus eritematoso sistêmico (LES) é uma doença auto-imune que afeta 20 a 150 pessoas por 100.000 habitantes, caracterizada pela produção de auto-anticorpos, sendo os principais anticorpos envolvidos na patofisiologia desta doença os anticorpos antinucleares conhecidos como fator antinúcleo (FAN). O FAN positivo é agora considerado o critério de entrada para a classificação dos pacientes com FAN negativo, o que representa um desafio diagnóstico para aqueles com FAN negativo, uma entidade clínica descrita desde 1976 com uma prevalência de 2-20%. Apesar dos avanços nas técnicas de identificação do FAN, há vários fatores do paciente como idade, atividade da doença, uso de glicocorticóides, proteinúria, infecção e/ou sepse, que levam à negatividade de anticorpos no diagnóstico; assim como diferentes fatores técnicos ao processar o FAN por imunofluorescência indireta (IFI). Esta revisão aborda critérios de classificação do LES, técnicas de identificação do FAN, causas de negatividade e outros métodos de diagnóstico para aqueles pacientes com anticorpos antinucleares negativo e LES clínico, com o objetivo de fornecer informações aos profissionais de saúde que permitam o diagnóstico e tratamento oportuno dos pacientes com esta patologia, melhorando assim seu prognóstico e qualidade de vida.
