متن کاملThe Pathogenesis of Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody Renal Vasculitis
The vasculitides comprise a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by inflammation and destruction of blood vessels. Vessels of any size can be involved which explains the diverse spectrum of clinical diseases attributed to vasculitis. While the immunological basis of disease for vasculitis was recognized over thirty years ago,[1] a standardized classification system was only adopted nea...
متن کاملPredictive value of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies in small-vessel vasculitis.
OBJECTIVE . The predictive value of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) as markers of clinical activity of small vessel vasculitis is controversial. We reviewed the outcome of patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis from a single center and evaluated the predictive value of ANCA as markers of relapse. METHODS The medical history of all consecutive patients with ANCA-associated vascu...
متن کاملMedial medullary infarction caused by antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-related vasculitis
RATIONALE Medial medullary infarction accounts for less than 1% of brain infarctions, and medial medullary infarctions is very rarely caused by antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis. PATIENT CONCERNS We report the case of a 76-year-old man at low risk of arteriosclerosis who presented with disorders on the left side including gaze-evoked nystagmus, paralysis of the ...
