CPSに頻出する診断基準をまとめてみた。

Light's criteria
The high levels of lactate dehydrogenase and protein in the pleural fluid meet Light's criteria for exudative pleural effusion, but they do not point to a specific diagnosis.

Duke criteria
The MRI findings, together with the positive blood cultures, the predisposing cardiac condition of mitral prolapse, and the positive test for rheumatoid factor, satisfy the Duke criteria for the diagnosis of definite infective endocarditis.

Jones criteria
The major Jones criteria are migratory arthritis, carditis, chorea, erythema marginatum, and subcutaneous nodules, and the minor criteria are arthralgia, fever, elevated levels of acute-phase reactants, and a prolonged PR interval.

Wells criteria
Wells' criteria are helpful in predicting the risk of pulmonary embolus. According to these criteria, in the absence of an active malignant condition, a history of deep venous thrombosis, recent immobilization or surgery, or hemoptysis, the patient's tachycardia and clinical symptoms suggest an intermediate probability of acute pulmonary embolus.

その他
The 1997 update of the 1982 American College of Rheumatology revised criteria for classification of SLE is fulfilled by the following findings: a positive test for antinuclear antibodies, immunologic findings (dsDNA), hematologic involvement (lymphopenia), arthritis, and evidence of glomerular injury (proteinuria [>0.5 g of protein per day] and red-cell casts). Serologic studies and clinical features relevant to other glomerulonephritides (anti–streptolysin O, ANCA, and HIV) are negative.
