Abstract

Pulmonary vasculitis is usually but one manifestation of a systemic autoimmune disease. Primary vasculitis syndromes commonly affecting the respiratory tract are Wegener’s granulomatosis (WG), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), and the Churg-Strauss syndrome. They are small-vessel vasculitides characterized by the presence of antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA). This chapter provides an overview for a diagnostic approach to these patients that enables disease severity-adapted therapy. The respiratory manifestations of other vasculitides including Takayasu’s arteritis, Behcet’s disease, and Goodpasture’s disease are also discussed.
