In this study, the rate of remission, relapse, and treatment resistance in 107 patients with microscopic polyangiitis and necrotizing and crescentic glomerulonephritis associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies were assessed. Patients with Wegener's granulomatosis were excluded. Prospective criteria were identified to assess remission
Extractions: Polyarteritis nodosa is a pauci-immune systemic necrotizing vasculitis that has been subclassified into classic and microscopic forms (1, 17, 39, 58, 61). The microscopic form, now called microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), was recognized by Davson et al (19) in a subgroup of polyarteritis nodosa patients with a high early mortality rate and renal involvement characterized by segmental necrotizing glomerulonephritis. MPA is defined as a systemic necrotizing vasculitis that clinically and histologically affects small-sized vessels without granulomata (45). Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) have transformed the diagnostic approach to such vasculitides: they are useful serologic markers for diagnosis and monitoring (29, 38, 62), and, from a pathogenic viewpoint, may be pathogenic by entailing endothelial damage and vasculitic lesions (27).

Extractions: Dr. Andrew Churg wrote this vignette about the history of Churg Strauss Syndrome for the American Thoracic Society. They graciously allowed us to post it on our website. Churg-Strauss Syndrome Andrew Churg, M.D. Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) is best understood in the context of the history of vasculitis. The first report of vasculitis is generally credited to Kussmaul and Maier, who in 1866 described periarteritis nodosa, a name later recast as polyarteritis nodosa (PAN). PAN usually affected medium-sized arteries and frequently produced small aneurysms. Although the initial description of PAN was fairly specific, for most of the next 100 years every case of vasculitis tended to be called PAN, even if the sizes and types of vessels involved were completely different and there was no evidence of aneurysm formation.

Extractions: More information and support groups This section explains about the various forms of vasculitis, and what to expect when your child comes to Great Ormond Street Hospital for treatment. Vasculitis is a word used to describe various diseases that involve inflammation of the blood vessels. The blood vessel system is made up of various sizes of blood vessels, arteries (which carry blood away from the heart), veins (which carry blood back to the heart) and capillaries (tiny blood vessels) through which the blood travels to all tissues and organs. When a small blood vessel becomes inflamed, it can break and bleed into the surrounding tissue. This causes small red or purple dots on the skin. If a larger blood vessel becomes inflamed, it may swell to produce a lump that you feel under the skin. The inside of the blood vessel may also narrow, which reduces the amount of blood able to flow through it or it may become blocked by a blood clot. If the blood flow through the blood vessels is reduced or stops, the tissue may begin to die. On rare occasions, vasculitis may cause the wall of a blood vessel to weaken and develop a bulge (aneurysm) that can rupture and bleed.

Extractions: Click here to view next page of this article Classic polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a multisystem, necrotizing vasculitis of small and medium-sized muscular arteries in which involvement of the renal and visceral arteries is characteristic. PAN does not involve pulmonary arteries, although bronchial vessels may be involved; granulomas, significant eosinophilia, and an allergic diathesis are not part of the classic syndrome. The term microscopic polyangiitis (microscopic polyarteritis) describes the syndrome. Pan is an uncommon disorder. The mean age at onset in reports of PAN is 48 years, and the male-to-female ratio The vascular lesion in classic PAN is a necrotizing inflammation of small and medium-sized muscular arteries. The lesions are segmental and tend to involve bifurcations and branchings of arteries. They may spread circumferentially. Multiple organ systems are involved, and the clinicopathologic findings reflect the degree and location of vessel involvement and the resulting ischemic changes. As mentioned above, pulmonary arteries are not involved in classic PAN , and bronchial artery involvement is uncommon, whereas pulmonary capillaritis occurs frequently in microscopic polyangiitis. The pathology in the kidney in classic

Extractions: Asbestosis and probable microscopic polyangiitis GSR Philteos, K Coverett, R Chibbar, HA Ward, DW Cockcroft Several inorganic dust lung diseases (pneumoconioses) are associated with autoimmune diseases. Although autoimmune serological abnormalities are common in asbestosis, clinical autoimmune/collagen vascular diseases are not commonly reported. A case of pulmonary asbestosis complicated by perinuclear-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (myeloperoxidase) positive probable microscopic polyangiitis (glomerulonephritis, pericarditis, alveolitis, multineuritis multiplex) is described and the possible immunological mechanisms whereby asbestosis fibres might be relevant in induction of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies are reviewed in the present report.

Extractions: The use of propylthiouracil (PTU) has been associated with various forms of vasculitis. We herein describe the case of a patient with Grave's disease who, after years of PTU therapy, developed a necrotizing vasculitis with anti-serine protease-3 antibodies. Despite treatment with corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide, the patient died of intra-alveolar hemorrhage secondary to her vasculitis. Based on the vessel size involved, the organ distribution of pathologic findings, and lack of granulomas, autopsy findings were felt to be more consistent with microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) than with her original clinical diagnosis of Wegener's granulomatosis. Her case satisfied both clinical and pathologic criteria for MPA. An MPA diagnosis is important to consider in similar clinical presentations because therapy may just need to be early withdrawal of an inciting drug, such as PTU, and the initiation of corticosteroids without cytotoxic therapy.

Extractions: Financial support: None indicated. Background Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) are associated with a number of vasculitides, including Wegener granulomatosis, Churg-Strauss syndrome, microscopic polyangiitis and idiopathic necrotizing and crescentic glomerulonephritis. A number of connective tissue diseases (CTD's) present with similar findings to the vasculitides. If ANCA is specific to the vasculitic syndromes and remains negative in the CTD's, this would greatly enhance its utility. This study was designed to look at the results of several types of ANCA assays in patients with various connective tissue diseases. Methods Subjects Patients with connective tissue diseases were part of the Early Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease project, funded by the NIH. These patients were enrolled within one year of the onset of signs, symptoms or serology suggesting CTD, and were studied at entry and at years 1, 3 and 5. For the purpose of the current study, serum from 386 patients, obtained at baseline and stored frozen, was obtained and examined for ANCA antibodies. The CTD diagnoses for these 386 patients, determined at the final 5-year visit, were:
