hi- I couldn't find info easily with google search to my question---
if one is positive for just anti -LA ssb titer does the size of that number hold much significance per docs? for example does the lit say a higher number could mean more progressed disease and do they poo poo lower numbers?
and if so what is considered to be getting into a signficant titer number beyond 1+  ?

I know that one doesnt have to have positive anti-bodies to mean auto-immune illness is present but I was just curious what the lit or mainstream med says about the size of the number for ssb?

also is it positively correlated when its the only anti-body one tests positive for, with any other illness besides SJS?

thanks for any info on this :)
