Brief Answer:
You may have autoimmune disease.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have speckled pattern in immunofluorescence. With high esr and high wbc so you have high chance of autoimmune disease. You should go for complete ANA profile. It will give exact idea regarding your autoimmune disease. If it comes positive then take treatment accordingly. If it comes negative then you have some other inflammatory disease. So first of all you should go for ANA profile.
Consult your physician and investigate and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
