Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) associated vasculitides include granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA, previously called Wegener's), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), previously called Churg-Strauss). In this report we used mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and steroids to induce and maintain remission in two newly diagnosed cases with c-ANCA associated GPA. The two patients' maintained remission with no disease relapses during one year follow-up.
抗中性粒细胞胞浆抗体(ANCA)相关血管炎包括肉芽肿性多血管炎(GPA,以前称为韦格纳肉芽肿)、显微镜下多血管炎(MPA)和嗜酸性肉芽肿性多血管炎(EGPA,以前称为变应性肉芽肿性血管炎)。在本报告中,我们使用霉酚酸酯(MMF)和类固醇诱导并维持两名新诊断的与c-ANCA相关的GPA患者缓解。两名患者在一年的随访中维持缓解,无疾病复发。
