Vasculitis Inflammation of the vessel wall. Signs and symptoms: 1- local:according to the involved tissue 2- systemic:(fever, myalgia, arthralgias, and malaise)

Pathogenesis 1- immune-mediated inflammation 2- infectious pathogens. It is critical to distinguish between infectious and immunologic mechanisms due to the huge difference in management. 3- Physical injury (radiation, mechanical trauma) 4- chemical injury (toxins)

The main immunologic mechanisms underlying vasculitis are: 1- Immune complex deposition 2- Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) 3- Anti-endothelial cell antibodies 4- Auto-reactive T cells

Immune complex deposition Example: Drug hypersensitivity vasculitis. e.g., penicillin vary from mild and self-limiting, to severe and even fatal skin lesions are most common. Treatment: discontinuation of the offending drug.

Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies ANCAs = circulating antibodies that react with neutrophil cytoplasmic antigens (mainly enzymes) ANCAs blood levels are very useful markers for diagnosis, clinical severity, and as predictive of disease recurrence.

two types are most important: 1- Antiproteinase-3 (PR3-ANCA)= c-ANCA. proteinase-3 is a neutrophil azurophilic granule constituent; e.g. Wegener granulomatosis. 2-Anti-myeloperoxidase (MPO-ANCA)= p-ANCA. MPO is a lysosomal granule constituent; e.g. Churg-Strauss syndrome

Anti-Endothelial Cell Antibodies Antibodies against endothelial cells Associated with certain vasculitides, such as Kawasaki disease (discussed later).

Giant Cell (Temporal) Arteritis is the most common form of vasculitis among the elderly in developed countries. chronic, granulomatous, inflammation of large arteries mainly the temporal arteries, vertebral and ophthalmic arteries, as well as the aorta also can be involved. ophthalmic artery involvement sudden and permanent blindness (rapid diagnosis and treatment are mandatory)

Giant Cell (Temporal) Arteritis Pathogenesis: T cell-mediated immune response to unknown vessel wall antigen. Morphology: granulomatous inflammation (75%) within the inner media centered on the internal elastic membrane (( lymphocytes and macrophages, with multinucleate giant cells )) fragmentation of the internal elastic lamina. lesions at different stages of development are seen within the same artery

Giant Cell (Temporal) Arteritis: A> granuloma; B> fragmented internal elastic lamina

Giant Cell Arteritis- clinical picture rare before the age of 50. Signs and symptoms: fever, fatigue, weight loss facial pain or headache (superficial temporal artery). Ocular symptoms (ophthalmic artery) in 50% of patients; range from diplopia   complete vision loss. Diagnosis: - Vessel biopsy and histology Treatment: - Corticosteroid or anti-TNF therapies

Takayasu Arteritis vasculitis of medium-sized and large arteries scarring and thickening of the aorta- especially the aortic arch with severe luminal narrowing of the major branch vessels. marked weakening of the pulses in the upper extremities (= the pulseless disease).

Takayasu arteritis Pathogenesis: An autoimmune etiology is likely affects the aortic arch and arch vessels (2/3) the distinction from giant cell aortitis is made largely on the basis of a patient's age: >50 years giant cell aortitis <50 yearsTakayasu aortitis. Treatment: immunosuppressives

Takayasu arteritis -MORPHOLOGY

Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) a systemic vasculitis of small or medium-sized muscular arteries typically involves the renal and visceral vessels and spares the pulmonary circulation. There is no association with ANCAs - (1/3) chronic hepatitis B infection immune complexes containing hepatitis B antigens deposit in affected vessels. - (2/3) The cause is unknown

PAN- The clinical course episodic, with long symptom-free intervals. malaise, fever, and weight loss the vascular involvement is widely scattered. Usually present as a combination of: - malignant hypertension  a major cause of death abdominal pain and bloody stools (GIT lesions) muscular aches and pains peripheral neuritis. Treatment: if untreated  fatal - immunosuppression remission or cure in 90% of the cases

Kawasaki disease acute, febrile illness of infancy and childhood (80% of cases < 4 years) arteritis of mainly large to medium-sized vessels. Its clinical significance: involvement of coronary arteries aneurysms  rupture or thrombosis myocardial infarction. Originally in Japan, the disease is now recognized worldwide

Also called mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome: conjunctival and oral erythema and blistering erythema of the palms and soles a desquamative rash cervical lymph node enlargement Pathogenesis: anti-endothelial cell antibodies Treatment: intravenous immunoglobulin therapy and aspirin

Wegener granulomatosis a necrotizing vasculitis with a specific triad of: 1- Granulomas of the lung and/or the upper respiratory tract (ear, nose, sinuses, throat) 2- Vasculitis of small to medium-sized vessels (capillaries, venules, arterioles, and arteries) mostly in lungs and upper respiratory tract 3- renal vasculitis (Glomerulonephritis):

Wegener granulomatosis- pathogenesis PR3-ANCAs (c-ANCA) is detected > 95% of cases - useful markers of disease activity (After immunosuppressive therapy, ANCA levels fall dramatically, while rising titers are predictive of relapse) The typical patient is >40 year old and male, although women and all ages can be affected. If untreated, the mortality rate at 1 year is 80%.

Wegener granulomatosis- clinical picture Rash, myalgias, articular involvement, neuritis, and fever bilateral pneumonitis, nodules and cavitary lesions (95%) chronic sinusitis (90%) mucosal ulcerations of nasopharynx (75%) renal disease (80%) rapidly progressive renal failure. Treatment: steroids, cyclophosphamide, TNF inhibitors... Most patients with Wegener granulomatosis now survive, but remain at high risk for relapses that can ultimately lead to renal failure.

Churg-Strauss syndrome is a small vessel necrotizing vasculitis classically associated with asthma, allergic rhinitis, lung infiltrates, peripheral eosinophilia, necrotizing granulomas, infiltration by eosinophils. extremely rare disorder. purpura, GIT bleeding, and renal disease are the major associations. Cardiomyopathy (60% of patients) a major cause of morbidity and death. Pathogenesis: p-ANCA associated

Thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger disease) a disorder of severe vascular insufficiency and gangrene of the extremities. focal acute and chronic inflammation of medium-sized and small arteries, especially the tibial and radial arteries, associated with thrombosis secondary extension into adjacent veins and nerves may be seen. Pathogenesis: almost exclusively in heavy tobacco smokers and usually < age 35. The etiology is unknown:- components of tobacco- ? Direct endothelial cell toxicity ? -an immune response. -? A genetic predilection

Thromboangiitis obliterans/clinical manifestations Early : Raynaud phenomenon, foot pain induced by exercise, superficial nodular phlebitis (venous inflammation). severe pain-even at rest neural involvement. Chronic ulcerations Gangrene of fingers and toes Treatment: Smoking abstinence in the early stages of the disease
