Antinuclear antibodies in psychiatric illness: their relationship to diagnosis and drug treatment

E C Johnstone et al. Br Med J. .

Abstract

Antinuclear antibodies occurred more often and in higher titres in psychiatric patients than in controls. Anti-DNA antibodies were not found. We suggest that antinuclear antibodies may be drug-induced and that lithium carbonate may have a particular tendency to produce this reaction.
