To gain insight in the laboratory diagnostics of auto-antibodies to nuclear antigens (ANA, anti-dsDNA- and anti-ENA-antibodies), the Dutch EASI-team has prepared a questionnaire in collaboration with SKML. This questionnaire has been distributed to all participants of the external quality assessment program for these auto-antibodies, as organized by SKML. Due to the high response (87%), the Dutch situation has been very well documented. The results are summarized in this paper and, in addition, recommendations of the Dutch EASI-team are given. Although these recommendations are not to be used as official guide-lines, they may harmonize and improve the detection of auto-antibodies to nuclear antigens.
