Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies in leprosy [PDF]
Clinical Rheumatology, 2006 Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies (ANCA) are auto-antibodies directed to intracellular components of neutrophils and used to be considered as present almost exclusively in granulomatous vasculitis. Recently, these auto-antibodies have been found in other autoimmune disorders as well as infectious diseases.We studied patients with leprosy confirmed

Uveitis and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies
Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 1994 SUMMARY Serum samples of 485 uveitis patients were screened for the presence of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies using a standardized immunofluorescence test (IIF) on neutrophil granulocytes. Seventeen of these sera contained cytoplasmic (C)-ANCA antibodies, while two of the sera contained perinuclear (P)-ANCA antibodies (both ...
