Reactivity against complementary proteinase-3 is not increased in patients with PR3-ANCA-associated vasculitis.
The etiology of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) associated vasculitides (AAV) is unknown, but the association between infections and autoimmunity has been studied extensively. In 2004, a novel theory was proposed that could link infection and autoimmunity. This 'theory of autoanti...
