Inflammatory bowel disease-specific autoantibodies in HLA-B27-associated spondyloarthropathies: Increased prevalence of ASCA and pANCA [PDF]
Aims: An association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and spondyloarthropathies (SpA) has repeatedly been reported. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether serologic markers of IBD, e. g.

A case of Sjögren syndrome and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis
Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a rare disease with the highest reported prevalence of 0.01-0.09%. Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) is another rare auto-immune disease (prevalence of 0.0009-0.01%).
