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
