    Abstract We evaluated chemokine expression and its correlation with disease activity in patients with microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) (MPA/GPA). Serum CCL2, CCL4, CCL19, CXCL1, CXCL2, and CX3CL1 level in 80 patients were analysed using multiple enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Correlations between variables were investigated using Pearson's correlation analysis, and receiver operator curve analysis was performed to identify optimal CX3CL1 values in determining active disease. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was done to evaluate predictors of active disease. CCL4 (r = 0.251, p = 0.025), CXCL1 (r = 0.270, p = 0.015), and CX3CL1 (r = 0.295, p = 0.008) significantly correlated with BVAS, while CX3CL1 was associated with five-factor score (r =  - 0.290, p = 0.009). Correlations were revealed between CCL2 and CCL4 (r = 0.267, p = 0.017), CCL4 and CXCL1 (r = 0.368, p < 0.001), CCL4 and CXCL2 (r = 0.436, p < 0.001), and CXCL1 and CXCL2 (r = 0.518, p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed serum CX3CL1 levels > 2408.92 pg/mL could predict active disease (odds ratio, 27.401, p < 0.001). Serum chemokine levels of CCL4, CXCL1, and CX3CL1 showed association with disease activity and especially, CX3CL1 > 2408.92 pg/mL showed potential in predicting active MPA/GPA.

    Title translation Granulomatosis with polyangiitis and microscopic polyangiitis.
    Abstract Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) are two entities of ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). Both diseases are characterised by systemic necrotising small-vessel vasculitis, which can affect any organ. In GPA, extravascular necrotising granulomatous inflammation, usually affecting the respiratory tract, is found in addition. In the majority of cases, the clinical presentation is dominated by a pulmonary-renal syndrome with alveolar haemorrhage and rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. Other organ involvement is found as well. In GPA, the upper respiratory tract is commonly affected. GPA is associated with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA) with specificity for proteinase 3 (PR3-ANCA) and MPA with specificity for myeloperoxidase (MPO-ANCA). Immunosuppressive therapy depends on disease activity and the severity of organ involvement.

    Abstract We have made significant headway in our ability to induce and maintain remission in patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis and microscopic polyangiitis. With increased understanding of the pathogenesis of antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitides (AAV), therapeutic targets have been identified and studied in clinical trials. From initial induction strategies including glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide, we have discovered effective induction regimens with rituximab and complement inhibition that can significantly decrease the glucocorticoid cumulative doses in patients with AAV. There are many trials underway evaluating management strategies for refractory patients and exploring new and old therapies that may help to continuously improve outcomes for patients with AAV.

    Title translation Mikroskopická polyangiitída.
    Abstract Microscopic polyangiitis is a rare, systemic, necrotizing, pauci-immune, ANCA associated small vessel vasculitis, with no evidence of granulomatous inflammation. Diagnosing microscopic polyangiitis is often difficult because of it´s presentation by a number of non-specific symptoms. We treated a 35-year old patient, who was admitted for migrating arthritis and fever with papulous rash. In this case, we want to point out the importance of considering the diagnosis of MPA and similar rare diseases in the process of differential diagnosis, mainly in patients presenting with non-specific symptoms, because the mortality of this disease without adequate treatment is alarmingly high.

    Abstract Objective: To develop a score assessing the probability of relapse in granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA).
    Methods: Long-term follow-up data from GPA and MPA patients included in five consecutive randomised controlled trials were pooled. Patient characteristics at diagnosis were entered into a competing-risks model, with relapse as the event of interest and death the competing event. Univariate and multivariate analyses were computed to identify variables associated with relapse and build a score, which was then validated in an independent cohort of GPA or MPA patients.
    Results: Data collected from 427 patients (203 GPA, 224 MPA) at diagnosis were included. Mean±SD follow-up was 80.6±51.3 months; 207 (48.5%) patients experienced ≥1 relapse. Relapse risk was associated with proteinase 3 (PR3) positivity (HR=1.81 (95% CI 1.28 to 2.57); p<0.001), age ≤75 years (HR=1.89 (95% CI 1.15 to 3.13); p=0.012) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m² (HR=1.67 (95% CI 1.18 to 2.33); p=0.004) at diagnosis. A score, the French Vasculitis Study Group Relapse Score (FRS), from 0 to 3 points was modelised: 1 point each for PR3-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody positivity, eGFR ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m² and age ≤75 years. In the validation cohort of 209 patients, the 5-year relapse risk was 8% for a FRS of 0, 30% for 1, 48% for 2 and 76% for 3.
    Conclusion: The FRS can be used at diagnosis to assess the relapse risk in patients with GPA or MPA. Its value for tailoring the duration of maintenance therapy should be evaluated in future prospective trials.

    Abstract Objectives: This study describes data from bronchoscopy performed at the diagnosis of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV).
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective study between 2004 and 2019 in patients aged >18 years with a diagnosis of microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) or granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) who underwent bronchoscopy at onset of the disease. We collected bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and histological findings obtained during bronchoscopy.
    Results: 274 patients with AAV were identified. Among 92 bronchoscopies, 62 were performed at diagnosis, and 58 procedures were finally analysed. Cough was more frequent in patients with MPA than GPA (p=0.02). The presence of endobronchial lesions (24.1%) was found to be significantly associated with GPA (p<0.0001) and proteinase 3-ANCA (p=0.01). The most frequent endobronchial lesions were inflammation and hyperaemia of the bronchial mucosa (50%), followed by stenoses (28%), ulcerations (21%) and mass-like granulomatosis (7%). The diagnostic yield of bronchial biopsies was useful for visible lesions (66.6%
    Conclusion: Bronchoscopy is an informative procedure at the onset of AAV disease in patients with respiratory manifestations. Endobronchial lesions are more frequently found in GPA and should be biopsied. BAL can be used to confirm DAH or diagnose superadded infection.

    Abstract We herein report a case of immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) in a patient with microscopic polyangiitis (MPA). A 77-year-old Japanese woman presented with a 2-day history of proximal muscle weakness and myalgia, with elevated serum creatinine kinase (CK) levels. Findings of a muscle biopsy were compatible with IMNM; however, anti-signal recognition particle (SRP) and anti-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) antibodies were negative. She also had peripheral neuropathy with elevated serum myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody titers, leading to a diagnosis of MPA. IMNM can be a pathological result of MPA muscle involvement.

    Abstract Microscopic polyangiitis is an important and common component of cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitides that can lead to serious morbidity and even death. A clear causative etiology has not been identified. Although silica is well known to produce lung damage, the negative renal effects of silica exposure should not be overlooked. We present a case of renal dysfunction associated with silica exposure, its diagnosis by renal biopsy, and the treatment method used. Environmental or occupational silica exposure can cause microscopic polyangiitis. Working in occupations with increased risk of silica exposure may result in serious medical problems.
