Anti-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 کاملDiagnosis of perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated microscopic polyangiitis in silicotics: case report.
BACKGROUND An association between silica exposure and autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis has been made. CASE PRESENTATION A 56-year-old male presented with silicosis and had an occupational history of precious metal processing for 30 years and a 30 pack-...
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 کاملGenetic aspects of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis.
The genetics of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a complex area of investigation because of the low frequency of AAVs, the rarity of familial cases and the complexity of disease phenotypes. However, recent studies have been able to gather significant numbers of patients, and multicentre collaborative efforts have allowed the performance of two genome-wi...
