[Advice in autoimmunity biological diagnosis: guidelines for drafting comments on biological results].

The ISO 15189 accreditation of biological analysis requires the presence of interpretation in the analysis report. The interpretation in the field of autoimmunity which includes many analyses and methods can be complex for biologists who may not have clinical data and for clinicians who may not be aware of technical difficulties. The French group of the european group EASI (European autoimmunity standardisation initiative) proposes a list of comments and advice in order to help biologists when interpreting auto-immune analyses results in several situations. These comments should be adapted to the clinical and biological situation (other biological results, clinical data…) and should alert the clinician. A dialogue between the biologist and the clinician is essential to adjust the interpretation on clinical data in order to provide a better health care for the patient.
