We report a case of microscopic polyarteritis nodosa associated with myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (MPO-ANCA). A 38 year-old female was admitted to our hospital, because of proteinuria, recurrent pyrexia, polyarthralgia, abdominal pain and purpura. She had a history of severe pulmonary hemorrhage and 4 kg weight loss for 8 months. On admission perinuclear ANCA without cytoplasmic ANCA was detected by indirect immunofluorescence assay and MPO-ANCA was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. But anti-nuclear antibodies, immune complexes and anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies were not detected. Renal biopsy showed necrotizing crescentic glomerulonephritis without immune deposits. Skin biopsy revealed leukocytoclastic vasculitis. Diagnosis of microscopic polyarteritis nodosa was made by these clinical and histological evidence of vasculitis. As renal failure progressed after admission, corticosteroid and cyclophosphamide administration were started. Renal function and other symptoms improved paralleled with decreased MPO-ANCA titer to normal values. It is suggested that MPO-ANCA may be closely related to the pathogenesis of microscopic polyarteritis nodosa and it may be a good serological marker for diagnosis and disease activity of this disease.

D009195 Peroxidase A hemeprotein from leukocytes. Deficiency of this enzyme leads to a hereditary disorder coupled with disseminated moniliasis. It catalyzes the conversion of a donor and peroxide to an oxidized donor and water. EC 1.11.1.7. Myeloperoxidase,Hemi-Myeloperoxidase,Hemi Myeloperoxidase
D010488 Polyarteritis Nodosa A form of necrotizing non-granulomatous inflammation occurring primarily in medium-sized ARTERIES, often with microaneurysms. It is characterized by muscle, joint, and abdominal pain resulting from arterial infarction and scarring in affected organs. Polyarteritis nodosa with lung involvement is called CHURG-STRAUSS SYNDROME.

D003520 Cyclophosphamide Precursor of an alkylating nitrogen mustard antineoplastic and immunosuppressive agent that must be activated in the LIVER to form the active aldophosphamide. It has been used in the treatment of LYMPHOMA and LEUKEMIA. Its side effect, ALOPECIA, has been used for defleecing sheep. Cyclophosphamide may also cause sterility, birth defects, mutations, and cancer.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
