scotland + n. ireland north wales + midlands east + southeast ... south + southwest Vasculitis Professor David Scott, of the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, explains the various diseases classed as vasculitis, and highlights ever-improving treatments. What it is Blood vessels carry blood and, therefore, oxygen to all organs and tissues in the body, so any part of the body can be involved in vasculitis. The consequences, therefore, depend on the site of the blood vessels involved, the size of the blood vessels involved and also the number of blood vessels involved. When small arteries are involved the inflammation often causes the artery to become blocked so the tissues supplied by that artery will die (i.e. become gangrenous). Surprisingly, when larger vessels are involved only part of the wall may become inflamed which can become weak and, because of the high pressure inside arteries, this weakness can cause the wall to expand forming an aneurysm (swelling) which can occasionally rupture with severe bleeding into the surrounding tissues. Who gets it and how it's diagnosed Vasculitis is rare. Around 5,00 people in the UK develop one of its various forms every year, including the more severe types such as polyarteritis nodosa, Wegener's granulomatosis, Churg-Strauss syndrome and microscopic polyangiitis. These names are partly historical (relating to the doctors who first described the condition) and partly descriptive.

Management T he vasculitides are a heterogeneous group of clinicopathological entities that share the common feature of vascular inflammation and injury. There is no universally acceptable classification of these group of disorders. While a number of underlying causes can be identified in some disorders, the aetiology is unknown in many. The pathogenetic mechanisms involved are mainly immunological, immune complex mediated tissue injury being the most commonly incriminated factor. Aetiology and pathogenesis While some forms of vasculitides may be ascribed to underlying factors like infections, malignancy, drug reactions or connective tissue disorders, the cause may remain undetermined in many vasculitic syndromes. Immunologic damage by immune-complex deposition or cell-mediated hypersensitivity is responsible in the majority of cases. The possible immunopathologic mechanism in the causation of vasculitis are . Deposition of circulating antigen-antibody complex or in -situ formation of immune complex within the vessel wall. This leads to complement activation and chemotactic attraction of neutrophils by complement components. Subsequent phagocytosis of such complexes with liberation of neutrophil granular products leads to vascular damage.

Systemic vasculitis Diagnostic clues to this confusing array of diseases Thomas M. Bush, MD VOL 103 / NO 2 / FEBRUARY 1998 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE This page is best viewed with a browser that supports tables This is the first of five articles on rheumatologic diseases Preview : Systemic vasculitis can be difficult to recognize because of the many types of the disease and the conditions that can mimic it. However, early identification and initiation of treatment (often empirical) are important to avoid severe morbidity. In this symposium article, Dr Bush clearly describes the most common types of vasculitis according to current nomenclature based on the size of affected vessels. Illustrations of common signs of the various types of vasculitis are also included. S ystemic vasculitides are characterized by aberrant immune responses that result in inflammation and necrosis of blood vessels. The immune dysfunction may be triggered by infection, autoimmune disease, or exposure to a drug; often the cause is unknown. The categorization of vasculitis by the size of the involved blood vessels is a useful guide to diagnosis and therapy(1-3) (table 1). The most recent nomenclature for vasculitis was developed by a multispecialty panel at the Chapel Hill Consensus Conference on the Nomenclature of Systemic Vasculitis (3). This article presents a review of the chief types of vasculitis with an emphasis on important diagnostic features. Table 1. Classification of systemic vasculitis

Microscopic Polyangiitis Associated with Diffuse Panbronchiolitis Jangchul Park, Shogo Banno, Yoshiki Sugiura, Kosho Yoshikawa*, Taio Naniwa, Kaori Wakita, Yoshihito Hayami, Shigeki Sato and Ryuzo Ueda There are several case reports of systemic vasculitis associated with chronic suppurative lung diseases. We describe a 46-year-old female, previously diagnosed as having diffuse panbronchiolitis (DPB), presenting with hemosputum and dyspnea. Her serum titer of MPO-ANCA was positive together with a high titer of BPI-ANCA. Chest X-ray and chest CT scan showed pulmonary hemorrhage, and the renal biopsy specimen revealed necrotizing, crescentic glomerulonephritis. She was diagnosed as having ANCA-associated vasculitis, and more specifically, microscopic polyangiitis accompanied by DPB. She was treated with methylprednisolone pulse therapy, followed by intravenous cyclophosphamide. This case suggested a possible association with chronic bacterial infection, which may play a role in the pathogenesis of ANCA-associated vasculitis. (Internal Medicine 43: 331–335, 2004)

Management of Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis RICHARD GLASSOCK University of California, Los Angeles Case Commentary: WILLIAM L. HENRICH University of Maryland Hospital Serologic studies now permit early and easy identification of renal vasculitis, and current treatment regimens boast short-term survival rates of greater than 85%. Still, achieving an optimal outcome requires that the diagnostic process be set in motion promptly, before the disease causes irreversible renal damage. Dr. Glassock is Professor Emeritus, Department of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles, UCLA School of Medicine. Dr. Henrich is Chairman, Department of Medicine, University of Maryland Hospital, Baltimore. Case Presentation A 58-year-old man, an international business consultant, presented to his primary care physician complaining of fever, cough, and weight loss. The patient reported that he had been healthy until about a month earlier, when a low-grade fever developed along with a cough productive of whitish sputum that was occasionally streaked with blood. His weight had dropped by about 6.8 kg, and he felt weak and tired. Ten years ago, he had received a blood transfusion in a foreign country after an automobile accident that had resulted in a fractured leg and a lung contusion. The patient smoked two packs of cigarettes a day and drank alcohol moderately. There was no family history of cancer, tuberculosis, or kidney disease.

Current Rheumatology Reports Published Abstract The original and early case reports of vasculitis provide a historical context and foundation for understanding current concepts of these diseases. These early case reports are valuable as reference points for the current efforts in diagnosing, treating, and classifying vasculitis. In addition, they emphasize the importance of careful clinical observation in these efforts and the essential nature of medical science. Polyarteritis nodosa was the first noninfectious vasculitis to be described and studied in detail. Research on this group of vasculitides has been the cornerstone for understanding the pathophysiology of other forms of idiopathic vasculitis. Historically, most forms of vasculitis described subsequently have been characterized and classified on the basis of features similar to or distinct from polyarteritis.
