One hundred and seven patients had been diagnosed as having a primary systemic vasculitis-specifically, 39 had temporal arteritis (TA), 25 polyarteritis nodosa (PAN), 9 Wegener's granulomatosis (WG), and 34 Beh\u00e7et's disease (BD)-, 90 patients had systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and 19 had a primary Sj\u00f6gren's syndrome (SS). The AECA were determined by ELISA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: One hundred and four (48%) patients with systemic autoimmune diseases were found to have a positive titre of AECA. Specifically, AECA were detected in 41 (38%) patients with a primary systemic vasculitis (13 (33%) with TA, 14 (56%) with PAN, 5 (56%) with WG and 9 (26%) with BD), in 58 (63%) patients with SLE, and in 5 (26%) patients with a primary SS. In patients with a primary systemic vasculitis, those with AECA were found to have an increased prevalence of disease activity ( P &lt; 0.05). In SLE patients, those with AECA were found to have an increased prevalence of vascular lesions ( P &lt; 0.05), lupus nephropathy ( P &lt; 0.05), and antic ardiolipin antibodies (aCL) ( P &lt; 0.001).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusions: Patients with systemic autoimmune diseases have a high prevalence of AECA and they are associated with the presence of vascular lesions, nephropathy, and aCL in SLE, as well as with disease activity in several primary systemic vasculitis (TA, PAN, WG and BD).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/096120339700600608","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,11,26]],"date-time":"2007-11-26T19:27:11Z","timestamp":1196105231000},"page":"521-526","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":78,"title":["Review
