Myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies with Cytoplasmic Fluorescence Pattern
ABSTRACTWe report here two rare cases of myeloperoxidase–antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA)-positive Wegener’s granulomatosis (limited variant) which deceptively produced a cytoplasmic (C-ANCA) pattern on indirect immunofluorescence.

Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody Vasculitis after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis is a group of rare autoimmune disorders associated with the presence of ANCA autoantibodies. We present the first reported case of acute ANCA-associated vasculitis following coronary artery

Antineutrophil cytoplasm antibodies and vasculitis [PDF]
Systemic vasculitis is a rare condition and diagnosis is often difficult. Any organ system can be affected and patients can present with an insidiously progressive illness, a remitting/relapsing pattern, or acute multisystem failure. The early institution of aggressive and potentially toxic immunosuppression may be necessary to minimise permanent organ

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies: appropriate use and interpretation [PDF]
It was with much interest that we read the letter of Novikov et al 1 on testing for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitides (AAV) and other diseases. In their letter, the authors (1) share their experience with direct testing for proteinase-3 (PR3) ANCA and myeloperoxidase (MPO) ANCA and (2) raise ...

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...
