Thanks for writing to us!
As per your description, your husband is possibly suffering from Hepatitis E which is a very severe disease in general!
Please consult some hepatobiliary / gastroenterology specialist before anything else!
Regarding you other questions, antinuclear antibody immunofluorescence test result is weak positive. pattern - cytoplasmic speckled;It is a non-specific finding and not to worry about that!
Blood hematology reports say that he has anemia, less of RBCs and platelets...possibly complications of jaundice!
Hope you got your answer to some extent; please revert back to us if necessary again!
all the best!
