Abstract
- Recurrent annular erythema associated with anti-Ro/La antibody is a diagnostic term for annular erythemas that usually occurs in the face and the upper extremities of patients with positive anti-Ro/La antibodies. They have been reported in patients with Sjogren's syndrome, lupus erythematosus, or Sjogren's syndrome/systemic lupus erythematosus syndrome. Recently, there have been cases without any underlying autoimmune diseases. We, hereby, report an annular erythema, associated with anti-Ro/La antibody occurring in both soles, which is an unusual location for this disease.
