Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,

Thank you for posting your query on HCM.

Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that there is a possibilty of underlying SLE but you need to send the complete history and reports so that we can analyse whats going on . Only after having a look at your reports plus what ANA pattern they have reported and what is the titre matters a lot , we will be suggest what to do further more . Also please tell if you have any history of oral ulceration, photosensitivity or raynauds phenomenon .

Also please attach ENA profile report if it has been done.

Take care.

Dr. Shruti
