Antinuclear factor-positive mental depression: a single disease entity?
Biol Psychiatry.
1976 Feb.
Abstract
Antinuclear factor (ANF) was present in the serum of about 30% of 53 patients newly admitted to the psychiatric hospital because of mental depression. Clinically, ANF-positive depression closely resembles manic-depressive psychosis but tends to be more resistant to treatment. It is suggested that ANF-positive depression may be a quite distinctive disease.
