Pathophysiology and clinical manifestations of immune complex vasculitides.

Front Med (Lausanne)

Immune complex (IC) vasculitides present inflammations of vessel walls associated with perivascular deposition of immunoglobulins (Igs), mostly ICs. They encompass systemic and skin-limited variants of IgA vasculitis (IgAV), cryoglobulinemic vasculitis (CV), rheumatoid, lupus, and hypocomplementemic vasculitides, serum sickness cutaneous IgM/IgG (non-IgA) vasculitis, and recurrent macular (hypergammaglobulinemic or exertion-induced) vasculitis. Serum sickness and CV fulfill the criteria of a type III hypersensitivity immune reaction as large lattices of the IC precipitate at vessel walls and activate polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs).

Background: Hypergammaglobulinemic purpura of Waldenström is an uncommon disease, which presents mostly in women on the lower extremities. It is sometimes associated with underlying immune dysregulation. Sjögren syndrome is the most common association; however, rare occurrences of the self-resolving syndrome with lymphoma or myeloma have been reported.
