Examples of Vasculitis in the following topics:
-
- Immune complexes may cause disease when they are deposited in organs, e.g. in certain forms of vasculitis.
- Typical of most mechanisms of the type III hypersensitivity, Arthus manifests as local vasculitis due to deposition of IgG-based immune complexes in dermal blood vessels.
-
- Hence, vasculitis, glomerulonephritis and arthritis are commonly-associated conditions as a result of type III hypersensitivity responses.
- As observed under methods of histopathology, acute necrotizing vasculitis within the affected tissues is observed concomitant to neutrophilic infiltration, along with notable eosinophilic deposition (fibrinoid necrosis).
- Immune complexes may themselves cause disease when they are deposited in organs, e.g. in certain forms of vasculitis.
-
- Vasculitis is inflammation of the vessel wall due to an infection (or autoimmune disease).
- Compare and contrast the causes associated with: endocarditis, myocarditis, bacteremia, vasculitis and lymphatic disease
-
- ., coexist with or are part of a spectrum that includes) other autoimmune diseases such as Sjögren's syndrome, lupus, scleroderma, or vasculitis.
- It presents as a proximal symmetrical muscle weakness with vasculitis affecting the skin, muscles, and internal organs.
-
- Secondary causes are associated with certain infections (bacterial, viral, or parasitic pathogens), drugs, systemic disorders (SLE or vasculitis), or diabetes.
-
- Red blood cell casts – associated with glomerulonephritis, vasculitis, or malignant hypertension
-
- Intravenous immunoglobulins may be used to control SLE with organ involvement, or vasculitis.
-
- Synthetic oxygen carriers may also show potential for cancer treatment, as their reduced size allows them to diffuse more effectively through poorly-vasculated tumor tissue, increasing the effectiveness of treatments like photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy.
