Besides tuberculosis, anti-CCP antibodies were found in a low percentage in numerous infectious diseases (hepatitis C, hepatitis B, Hansen disease, untreated visceral leishmaniasis, Lyme disease, Chagas disease, HIV patients, HTLV-I positive patients, mononucleosis and Yersinia infection); however, there is a great variability in its frequency in different studies, probably due to methodological variations.7
