          Abstract

          Se determinó la presencia de anticuerpos anticitoplasma de neutrófilos (ANCA) específicos para la proteinaza 3 (cANCA) y la mieloperoxidasa (pANCA) en 166 pacientes, 45 con vasculitis no precisadas y el resto con diferentes enfermedades asociadas con procesos inflamatorios, fenómenos autoinmune e infecciones, mediante inmunofluorescencia indirecta. Se detectó la presencia de cANCA en 12 casos con vasculitis, y pANCA en 8 pacientes con enfermedades autoinmunes y en 14 con anemia drepanocítica. Nuestros resultados sugieren la posibilidad de cierto grado de participación de estos autoanticuerpos en el daño del endotelio vascular que se observa en estas enfermedades, debido a la activación de los neutrófilos

          Translated abstract

          The presence of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) specific to proteinase 3(cANCA) and myeloperoxidase (pANCA) were determined by indirect immunofluoresce test in 166 patients, 45 of which presented with undetermined vasculitis and the rest with different diseases associated with inflammatory processes, autoimmune phenomena and infections. cANCA were detected in 12 cases with vasculitis whereas pANCA were observed in 8 patients with autoimmune diseases and in 14 with sickle cell anemia. Our results suggest the possibility of some level of involvement of these autoantibodies in the vascular endothelium damage that is observed in these diseases due to neutrophil activation
