Treatment Approaches to Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis and Microscopic Polyangiitis
Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, 2023 We have made significant headway in our ability to induce and maintain remission in patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis and microscopic polyangiitis. With increased understanding of the pathogenesis of antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitides (AAV), therapeutic targets have been identified and studied in clinical trials.

Microscopic Polyangiitis [PDF]
Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, 2010 In 1923, Friedrich Wohlwill described two patients with a "microscopic form of periarteritis nodosa," which was distinct from the classical form. This disease, now known as microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), is a primary systemic vasculitis characterized by inflammation of the small-caliber blood vessels and the presence of circulating antineutrophil ...
