ANCA-Associated Vasculitides The according to their immunoserological markers (anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies - ANCA) named ANCA-associated vasculitides (AAV) are classified following the Chapel Hill nomenclature (2012). Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) are categorized according to clinical, histological, and imaging findings. GPA and EGPA mainly differ from MPA in the presence of granulomatous inflammation within the airways. All three are rare autoimmune diseases and their prevalences show geographical differences. Despite their rarity, recognition of the typical symptoms is very important. A timely diagnosis is crucial, as without immunosuppressive treatment the prognosis with respect to preservation of organ function and survival is poor. New treatments with potentially fewer side effects have been introduced in recent years. Amongst those Rituximab plays an important role and has largely replaced cyclophosphamide. Now the aim of therapeutic approaches is to reduce patient exposure to steroids. Because the side effects of therapy and especially steroids are the main causes of AAV morbidity besides the disease itself.

A case of ANCA-associated vasculitis in a 16-year-old female following SARS-COV-2 infection and a systematic review of the literature.

Authors:
Maria C Bryant L Terry Spencer Ali Yalcindag

Pediatr Rheumatol Online J 2022 Aug 13;20(1):65. Epub 2022 Aug 13.

Division of Pediatric Rheumatology, Department of Pediatrics Hasbro Children's Hospital Warren Alpert Medical School Brown University, 02903, Providence, RI, USA.

Background: Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a rare form of vasculitis in children. SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 infection, seems to trigger autoimmunity and new-onset autoimmune disease in pediatric and adult patients. We present a case of new-onset AAV following COVID-19 infection in an adolescent patient, and we review the literature of AAV following COVID-19 infection. Read More

[Granulomatous vasculitides and vasculitides with extravascular granulomatosis].

Authors:
Sabrina Arnold Sebastian Klapa Konstanze Holl-Ulrich Antje Müller Anja Kerstein-Stähle Peter Lamprecht

Z Rheumatol 2022 Aug 12. Epub 2022 Aug 12.

Vasculitides are inflammatory diseases of blood vessels caused by autoimmune or infectious processes, which are associated with alterations and destruction of the vascular wall. From a histopathological point of view, granulomatous vasculitides can be distinguished from necrotizing vasculitides with respect to the pattern of inflammation. Granulomatous vasculitides are characterized by intramural, predominantly lymphohistiocytic infiltrates with the formation of giant cells. Read More
