Recurrent Transverse Myelitis Associates with Anti-Ro (SSA) Autoantibodies
Neurol 62:147-149, Hummers,L.K.,et al, 2004
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Transverse myelitis (TM) is an idiopathic inflammatory disorder of the spinal cord. The authors observed cases of recurrent TM in patients where anti-Ro (SSA) antibodies were present and therefore performed a case-control study to examine the frequency of anti-Ro autoantibodies in patients with recurrent TM and control subjects. Antibodies to 52-kd Ro were demonstrated in 77% of cases (10/13) compared with only 33% of control subjects (4/12).
