Antibodies To Porphyromonas Gingivalis as An Etiological Clue To The Development Of Anti-Citrullinated Protein Antibody Positive Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by the production of autoantibodies to citrullinated proteins (ACPA). Citrullinated proteins are generated by the actions of peptidyl arginine…Abstract Number: 2409 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association Of High Serum Interleukin-23 Levels With Porphyromonas Gingivalis Antibodies In Patients With Early Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with an increased frequency of periodontal disease (PD) and antibodies to P. gingivalis (Pg), a major periodontal pathogen. Both…Abstract Number: 1378 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Associations Of Periodontitis (PD) With Established Seropositive Rheumatoid Arthritis are Independent of Smoking and Other Risk Factors
Background/Purpose: Periodontitis (PD) has been proposed as a risk factor in RA. Reports have suggested that this association may be due to confounding from smoking…Abstract Number: 1360 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Evaluation Of Biomarkers Involved In Periondontal Disease Including Porphyromonas Gingivalis Antibodies To Predict Response To Infliximab In Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
Background/Purpose: This study evaluates biological markers of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) severity including matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3) and Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) serology during infliximab therapy…Abstract Number: 1369 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Evaluation Of Porphyromona Gingivalis Serology In Rheumatoid Arthritis and Non-Rheumatoid Inflammatory Disease
Background/Purpose: Periodontal disease (PD) is associated mainly with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but recent data suggest an association with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis…
