Systemic vasculitides are a group of autoimmune diseases associated with intense leucocytic vascular infiltrates and the presence in the serum of autoantibodies to neutrophil enzymes. This article discusses the significance of these and other immune markers for the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with vasculitis, as well as their possible pathogenic consequences.
