چکیده

background: mycobacterium tuberculosis is a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. infection with this bacterium is known to induce the development of autoantibodies of which a few are also known to be diagnostic markers for some other diseases. antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (anca's) are among those autoantibodies used in clinical setting for diagnosing systemic vasculitic syndromes. multiple studies investigated anca positivity in diseases other than small vessel vasculitis. objective: this study was performed to determine the prevalence of anca in pulmonary tuberculosis (tb) which may lead to the false diagnosis of wegener's granulomatosis (wg) or vice versa. methods: in a case-control study, 32 consecutive smear positive pulmonary tb patients and 32 normal individuals were studied. all cases and controls were screened for anca by indirect immunofluorescent assay (iif), and mpo and pr3 were also tested by elisa. results: a prenuclear pattern (panca) was detected in 25% of the cases and 6.25% of the controls and a cytoplasmic pattern (c-anca) was deserved in 3.1% of both the cases and the controls by iif assay. anca specificities tested by elisa in cases revealed that 75% of the cases had anti-mpo and 12.5% had anti-pr3, while in the in controls, 3.12% had anti-mpo and none had anti-pr3. the positive anca significantly correlated with tb (p

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies in rheumatoid arthritis patients.

We determined the occurrence of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) and their specificities in 77 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and compared them with 25 patients with psoriatic arthritis (Pso), 19 with drug-induced lupus erythematosus (DI-LE) and 11 with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Thirty-two percent of RA patients had positive indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) stains (P...

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies.

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) are predominantly IgG autoantibodies directed against constituents of primary granules of neutrophils and monocytes lysosomes. Although several antigenic targets have been identified, those ANCA directed to proteinase 3 or myeloperoxidase are clinically relevant, whereas the importance of other ANCA remains unknown. Both are strongly associated with ...
