For ANA test, indirect immunoflurocence(IIF) is the recommended investigation. ELISA is not. Your IIF shows weakly positive which often is not significant for any autoimmune disease. However if you have joint pain, skin rash and other symptoms suggestive of SLE or any other autoimmune disease, please do ENA profile to confirm and contact a rheumatologist.
