Relationship Between ANCA-Associated Vasculitis and Infection: A Review
Abstract
ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) is an autoimmune disease with multiorgan involvement of the entire body. And infection has been paid more and more attention in the course of treatment. As far as the current research is concerned, infection participates in the pathogenesis of AAV, interferes with the treatment of AAV, and affects the prognosis of AAV. This paper focuses on the role of pathogen infections in AAV pathogenesis. This review also elaborates on the types and prognosis of secondary infections in AAV patients. According to the current study, maintaining an appropriate BMI and vaccination is beneficial to the prevention of infection and the prognosis of AAV patients.
