Percentage of the false positive test results for IgM antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. Samples from MS patients (n=10), DMARD naïve RF positive RA patients (n= 20), RF negative (n=20) RA patients, SLE patients (n=10), infliximab treated RA patients (n=8). The test code keys are described in Table 2 . Stars indicate significant difference between RF status in RA patients, using Fisher exact test, *p < 0.05, ****p < 0.0001. Pos, positive; neg, negative; n, number; RF, rheumatoid factor; IFX, infliximab; n/a, not applicable; RA, rheumatoid arthritis; MS, multiple sclerosis; SLE, systemic lupus erythematosus.
