Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies and their relevance to the dermatologist

British Journal of Dermatology, 2006
The term vasculitis embraces a heterogeneous group of conditions which may occur as primary phenomena or secondary to disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus. Classification of vasculitis is often difficult in the absence of identifiable aetiological factors or specific serological markers.

Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies Testing and Interpretation

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2019
The discovery of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) helped establish ANCA-associated vasculitis as a separate and well-defined clinical entity. Its progressive incorporation into the clinical diagnosis algorithms has made ANCA testing a cornerstone immunoassay embedded in the management of ANCA-associated vasculitis.

Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies in Diffuse Panbronchiolitis

Respiration, 1999
<i>Background:</i> There are some reports of the coexistence of chronic suppurative lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis and systemic vasculitis. Diffuse panbronchiolitis has the same characteristics as chronic recurrent sinopulmonary infection and respiratory bronchiolitis.

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated neutropenia

European Journal of Internal Medicine, 2004
BACKGROUND: Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) can be associated with various disorders. However, their association with neutropenia has never been reported. METHODS: Nine patients with chronic unexplained neutropenia and ANCA were studied. Clinical charts were extensively analyzed and all patients underwent hematological and immunological ...

The antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody–associated vasculitides

The American Journal of Medicine, 2004
Wegener's granulomatosis, microscopic polyangiitis, and Churg-Strauss syndrome are small- to medium-vessel vasculitides linked by overlapping pathology and the presence of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA). Commonly referred to as the ANCA-associated vasculitides, these diseases are challenging to diagnose and to treat.

Sialadenitis in Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies Vasculitis

Journal of The Association of Physicians of India
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a pauci-immune vasculitis typically involving upper and lower respiratory tract involvement and crescentic glomerulonephritis. Salivary gland involvement in GPA is rare. When it occurs in GPA, it is commonly seen with sinonasal and lung involvement and rarely with renal involvement.

Sputum Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies in Serum Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody–Negative Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2019
Abstract Rationale Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (eGPA) is a small-vessel vasculitis where 40% of patients present with serum antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs). We examined the presence and clinical relevance of sputum ANCAs in the serum ANCA− patients with eGPA.

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis

Current Opinion in Nephrology & Hypertension
Purpose of review This review focuses on latest developments in managing antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV), a systemic autoimmune condition characterized by inflammation and necrosis of small blood vessels due to circulating autoantibodies that target neutrophilic granules.

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitides

Joint Bone Spine, 2007
The identification of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) proved a major breakthrough in the classification, diagnosis, monitoring, and understanding of vasculitides. Vasculitides associated with ANCA selectively affect the small vessels; they include Wegener granulomatosis, microscopic polyangiitis, and Churg-Strauss syndrome.
