Vasculitis is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by leukocyte infiltration into blood vessels. Various microorganisms have been associated with the pathogenesis of vasculitis; however, the causal microbial agents and underlying mechanisms are not fully understood, possibly because of the technical limitations of pathogen detection. In the present study, we characterized the microbiome profile of patients with cutaneous vasculitis using comprehensive metagenome shotgun sequencing. We found that the abundance of the SEN virus was increased in the affected skin and serum of patients with vasculitis compared to healthy donors. In particular, the abundance of SEN virus reads was increased in the sera of patients with cutaneous arteritis. Among the bacteria identified, Corynebacteriales was the most differentially associated with vasculitis. Linear discriminant analysis effect size also indicated differences in the microbial taxa between patients with vasculitis and healthy donors. These findings demonstrate that vasculitis is associated with considerable alteration of the microbiome in the blood and skin and suggest a role for the infectious trigger in vasculitis.
