Neutrophil chemotaxis in Wegeners granulomatosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Background: The presence of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) in Wegeners granulomatosis (WG), implicate the neutrophil as a key effector cell. Previous studies have reported elevated neutrophil counts in the lung although the determinants of neutrophil chemotaxis in the WG lung are unknown. Methods: BALF cell counts, myeloperoxidase (MPO) and chemokines were measured in 27 patient...
متن کاملAnti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody in Behçet’s Disease
Anti neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) is strongly associated with some vasculitic disorders. Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology. In this study, ANCA was found to be positive in 8 out of 66 patients (10.2%) with BD by combination testing consisting of immunofluorescence and ELISA [one patient showed an atypical pattern by indirect immunofloresence techique, ...
متن کاملOrganizing pneumonia associated with myeloperoxidase anti‐neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody
Organizing pneumonia (OP) is a clinicopathological entity that occurs idiopathically or in association with several conditions, but there are few reports about myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA)-associated OP. We describe a patient with OP whose clinical conditions improved spontaneously. Moreover, serum MPO-ANCA titers paralleled the clinical activity of the diseas...
متن کاملTubulointerstitial nephritis with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody following indomethacin treatment.
Sir, Tubulointerstitial diseases including tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) have an impact on overall renal function and eventual prognosis of renal diseases [1]. However, the detailed pathogenesis of human TIN has not been fully studied. Renal involvement in anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated diseases shows mainly glomerular lesion, especially necrotizing crescentic glome...
متن کاملENT manifestations of Wegeners granulomatosis.
Wegeners granulomatosis is a necrotizing granulomatous vasculitis with multisystemic involvement. We present two cases of Wegener's presenting with otological manifestations as the first symptom. These symptoms are subtle and diagnosis may be easily overlooked. Hence a high index of suspicion is required. Early diagnosis and treatment goes a long way in improving the outcomes and in preventing ...
