There is one clinical trial.
Due to the Covid-19 worldwide outbreak, fragile patients with immune diseases, notably rheumatoid arthritis (RA), have to be even more specifically and carefully followed-up. However, it has been shown that false postive serological results often occured while detecting antibodies directed against SARS-CoV-2 in patients with positive rheumatodoid factor (RF). The investigators propose here to investigated this issue. Therefore, the investigators will test three different immunoassays on this specific population. The investigators aim to establish these assays specificity and the levels of RF for which there is a risk of anti-SARS-CoV-2 false positivity and thus ensure a better follow-up of RA patients. The RF isotype will be analysed to determine whether there is a correlation and the impact of the presence of anti-CCP (citrullinated cyclic antipeptide antibodies) will be studied and assessed.
Description: Evaluate the false positive results rate when using each one of the three SARS-CoV-2 serology tests in patients with rheumatoid factor plasma levels, so as to define the specificity of these tests in this RA population. all serum samples will be tested by the 3 different immunoassays. The RF plasma levels have already been measured (routine exam) and are written in the patients files. The results will be analysed, the data proceeded and hopefully we will be able to answer the question.
Measure: Evaluate the false positive results rate Time: 4 monthsDescription: Characterize the RF isotype (IgG, IgM or IgA) associated with the false positivity of the test.all serum samples will be tested by the 3 different immunoassays. The RF isotype will be established using the routine method and the results of anti-CCP and RF plasma levels are already known and this information is available in the patients files. The results will be analysed, the data proceeded and hopefully we will be able to answer the questions
Measure: Characterize the RF isotype (IgG, IgM or IgA) associated Time: 4 monthsDescription: Determine the influence of RA on the false positivity rate in subjects with negative RF titer. All serum samples will be tested by the 3 different immunoassays. The RF isotype will be established using the routine method and the results of anti-CCP and RF plasma levels are already known and this information is available in the patients files. The results will be analysed, the data proceeded and hopefully we will be able to answer the questions
Measure: Determine the influence of RA on the false positivity rate in subjects Time: 4 monthsDescription: Assess the influence of the presence of anti-CCP on the false positivity of the SARS-CoV-2 test : all serum samples will be tested by the 3 different immunoassays. The RF isotype will be established using the routine method and the results of anti-CCP and RF plasma levels are already known and this information is available in the patients files. The results will be analysed, the data proceeded and hopefully we will be able to answer the questions.
Measure: Assess the influence of the presence of anti-CCP on the false positivity of the SARS-CoV-2 test Time: 4 monthsDescription: Assess the relation between the RF plasma levels and the false positivity of the SARS-CoV-2 test : all serum samples will be tested by the 3 different immunoassays. The RF isotype will be established using the routine method and the results of anti-CCP and RF plasma levels are already known and this information is available in the patients files. The results will be analysed, the data proceeded and hopefully we will be able to answer the questions.
