Results of the EU project group on Rare Pulmonary Diseases NON-NEOPLASTIC VASCULAR DISEASES 4. MICROSCOPIC POLYANGIITIS What is it: This is a systemic inflamation of small blood vessels, which causes malnutrition of the peripheral tissue. Many different organs can be affected, the lung and kidney are most often involved. Bleeding is the most common symptom. Why: The reason is unknown. An autoimmune cause is favoured by most reports. How it is diagnosed: Clinically by organ dysfunction in two and more different organs, by a positive ANCA test (antibodies detected in the blood), and by radiological changes associated with reduced blood flow and bleeding in different organs simultaneously. This is than confirmed by analysis of tissue biopsies. What can be done: A corticosteroid treatment will suffice in most cases, but an immunosuppressive or cytostatic treatment might be required in severe cases.

Results of the EU project group on Rare Pulmonary Diseases NON-NEOPLASTIC VASCULAR DISEASES 4. MICROSCOPIC POLYANGIITIS Definition: Vasculitis that affects only the smallest blood vessels: arterioles, capillaries and venules. Lung involvement is seen in about 50% of the patients and usually presents as a pulmonary hemorrhage. The incidence is 1,7*10 . Clinically ANCA antibodies are usually positive. Many cases present with similar symptoms as Wegener's granulomatosis. However, large infarcts or nodules are absent. The organ distribution is similar to Wegener's. Histopathologically alveolar hemorrhage is observed with capillaritis with neutrophilic infiltration of alveolar walls. Sometimes in a biopsy the capillaritis may be scant or absent, but on the other hand can also be obscured by presentation with diffuse alveolar damage.

A good and accepted classification system for vasculitis has not emerged, although it may be categorized by the size or type of the involved blood vessel as large-, medium-, or small-vessel vasculitis. Small-vessel vasculitis is defined as vasculitis that affects vessels smaller than arteries (i.e., arterioles, venules, and capillaries); however, small-vessel vasculitis can also involve medium-sized arteries.

Questions and Answers Stephen A. Paget, MD: It is a pleasure today to introduce a good friend, Leonard Calabrese, who is the Director of Clinical Immunology at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and a Professor of Medicine at Ohio State University. Len is world renowned for his interest and focus for many years relating to immunologic and autoimmune diseases. But one of his particular interests, and one I know he has spoken on quite a bit in the past, are the vasculitides. He has given us some of the most basic information on primary angiitis of the brain, and today he will talk about new treatment strategies for vasculitis. It is a pleasure to welcome you to HSS and New York. Leonard H. Calabrese, DO:

The interaction of IL-2 with IL-2R leads to the stimulation of a complex set of signal transduction pathways resulting in T cell proliferation, T and B cell growth, generation of lymphokine-activated killer cells, and the augmentation, proliferation and maturation of NK cells (1). Rubin et al (2) described a soluble form of the IL-2R (sIL-2R) which appeared in chemically activated lymphocyte culture supernatants when IL-2R cell surface expression began to decline.

Click here to view next page of this article New Treatments for Polyarteritis Nodosa Definition 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. Incidence And Prevalence Pan is an uncommon disorder. The mean age at onset in reports of PAN is 48 years, and the male-to-female ratio Pathophysiology And Pathogenesis 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

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. When patients first develop vasculitis they undergo tests for a number of reasons.
