Vasculitis
Vasculitis is an inflammation of the blood vessels. In most forms, it is accompanied by destruction of the vessel wall, often seen as fibrinoid necrosis. These necroses come in multiple forms, each associated with a specific type of autoantibody. Anti-endothelial antibodies are associated with Takayasu's arteritis and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies with macroscopic and microscipic polyarteritis nodosa or with Churg-Strauss syndrome.
