          Abstract

          El síndrome de vasculitis urticarial hipocomplementémica ha recibido enorme interés en la literatura médica, a partir de la publicación original en 1973, en Mayo Clinic Proceedings. El caso índice fue identificado en 1968, como entidad clínica distintiva, por uno de los coautores de la primera publicación y de la revisión actual (Jem), que cierra un ciclo de más de 45 años. Las características clínicas diferenciales del síndrome vasculitis urticarial hipocomplementémica determinaron que el consenso 2012 sobre nomenclatura de las Vasculitis de la American Association of Rheumatology le asignara un lugar propio dentro de las enfermedades vasculares inflamatorias. En los últimos años y, sobre todo, en los últimos meses, se ha reconocido el síndrome de vasculitis urticarial hipocomplementémica como una forma monogénica de lupus eritematoso, lo cual completa la secuencia histórica de la enfermedad y la coloca dentro del espectro de trastornos del complemento. El énfasis de la publicación está centrado en los aspectos históricos iniciales del proceso, que tienen el singular mérito de ser relatados por el principal autor y testigo, y que no habían sido publicados hasta ahora, aunque sí conocidos de manera personal o privada por reconocidos reumatólogos e inmunológos. La revisión histórica de la evolución del síndrome se ha fundamentado en la revisión de la literatura y en la concatenación de las observaciones ulteriores hasta finales de 2013, cuando se reconoció como una entidad específica y como una forma monogénica del lupus eritematoso.

          Translated abstract

          Hypocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis has received extraordinary interest in the medical literature since the original publication in 1973 in Mayo Clinic Proceedings. The index case was identified in 1968 as a distinct clinical entity, by one of the co-authors of the first publication and of the current review, which closes a cycle of more than 45 years. The differential clinical characteristics of hypocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis syndrome determined that the 2012 consensus on nomenclature of Vasculitis of the american rheumatology association, designated the syndrome as a separate entity with its own place among the inflammatory vascular diseases. In the last few years, and particularly in the last few months, hypocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis syndrome has been recognized as a monogenic form of lupus erythematosus, an observation that completes the historical sequence of the disease, and places it among the spectrum of complement disorders. The emphasis of the article is centered on the initial historical aspects of the process, that have the unique merit of being recorded by the principal author and witness, and not previously published, albeit privately known by prominent rheumatologists and immunologists. The historical review of the evolution of the syndrome is based on a review of the literature, relating subsequent observations until the end of 2013, when the syndrome was recognized as a monogenic form of lupus erythematosus.

          Complement in human diseases: Lessons from complement deficiencies.

          Complement deficient cases reported in the second half of the last century have been of great help in defining the role of complement in host defence. Surveys of the deficient individuals have been instrumental in the recognition of the clinical consequences of the deficiencies. This review focuses on the analysis of the diseases associated with the deficiencies of the various components and regulators of the complement system and their therapeutic implications. The diagnostic approach leading to the identification of the deficiency is discussed here as a multistep process that starts with the screening assays and proceeds in specialized laboratories with the characterization of the defect at the molecular level. The organization of a registry of complement deficiencies is presented as a means to collect the cases identified in and outside Europe with the aim to promote joint projects on treatment and prevention of diseases associated with defective complement function.

              Urticarial vasculitis.

              Chronic or recurrent urticarial lesions are common in both primary care and referral medicine. Diagnosis and treatment are usually a challenge for both the patient and the medical practitioner. Most patients are eventually diagnosed with chronic idiopathic urticaria. IgG autoantibody to IgE receptor or IgE itself causes urticarial lesions in 30% of these patients. Only a minority (approximately 10%) of patients with chronic urticarial lesions have urticarial vasculitis. Although some cases are benign, urticarial vasculitis by itself can cause significant morbidity, and it is often a manifestation of a serious illness. Successful diagnosis and treatment of urticarial vasculitis requires careful assessment over time for underlying diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus, hypocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis syndrome, Sjögren's syndrome, and mixed cryoglobulinemia.
