Update on eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis

Allergology International, 2019
Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) (formerly Churg-Strauss syndrome) is a rare form of anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis characterized by eosinophil-rich granulomatous inflammation and small to medium-size ...

Systemic Immunosuppression to Reduce Surgical Intervention in ANCA‐Negative Subglottic Stenosis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS) typically follows an indolent course managed with surgical dilatation, though a subset demonstrates aggressive, recurrent disease. In this retrospective cohort study, systemic immunosuppression significantly prolonged inter‐dilation intervals in both granulomatosis with polyangiitis‐associated SGS and an “atypical”

Implications of Antiphospholipid and Antineutrophilic Cytoplasmic Antibodies in the Context of Postinfectious Glomerulonephritis. [PDF]

, 2017
While antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) positivity has been documented in some patients with postinfectious glomerulonephritis (PIGN) and is associated with more severe disease, antiphospholipid antibodies (APA) are not known to be a common ...

Cochlear Implantation in Autoimmune Inner‐Ear Disease: Outcome and Patient‐Reported Benefit

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that patients with secondary autoimmune inner‐ear disease (AIED) achieve significant improvements in speech perception and quality of life following cochlear implantation. Although AIED patients may show slightly lower performance in noisy environments compared to controls, their subjective hearing benefit converges with matched

Gremlin, a potential urinary biomarker of anca-associated crescentic glomerulonephritis [PDF]

, 2019
Gremlin renal overexpression has been reported in diabetic nephropathy, pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis and chronic allograft nephropathy and has been implicated in the pathophysiology of the progression of renal damage. However, it is unknown

Targeting Immunologic Pathways in Eosinophilic Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis: Translating Emerging Evidence Into Clinical Practice

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a rare and potentially life‐threatening systemic, inflammatory disease with multi‐organ manifestations, variable presentation and complex pathology. Multiple interconnected immunological pathways are implicated in EGPA pathology, including a type‐2 immune response driving predominantly ...

Comparing outcomes of biopsy-proven anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody–associated glomerulonephritis patients treated with cyclophosphamide in the 20th and 21st centuries: a 23-year study [PDF]

, 2019
Background Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a multisystem autoimmune disorder associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Approximately 80–90% of patients have circulating ANCAs.

CH50 as a Clinically Useful Biomarker of Disease Activity and Antihistamine Resistance in Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria: An Observational Ambispective Single‐Center Study

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
Personalized CSU care guided by CH50. ABSTRACT Background Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is frequently refractory to guideline‐based therapy, highlighting the need for predictive biomarkers. Dysregulation of the complement system has been implicated in CSU severity, but global complement activity has not been systematically evaluated.

Updates in ANCA-associated vasculitis

European Journal of Rheumatology, 2019
Abstract Antineutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides are small-vessel vasculitides that include granulomatosis with polyangiitis (formerly Wegener’s granulomatosis), microscopic polyangiitis, and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Churg–Strauss syndrome). Renal-limited ANCA-associated vasculitides can be considered the

A case of small vessel vasculitis

Medical Journal of Dr. D.Y. Patil University, 2014
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) associated vasculitis is the most common primary systemic small-vessel vasculitis occurring in adults. Although the etiology is not always known, the incidence of vasculitis is increasing, with a variability ...
