Perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (p-ANCA): clinical significance and relation to antibodies against myeloid lysosomal enzymes.
In a prospective study of 27 months duration p-ANCA were found in 120 patients. 35% of these patients had vasculitis and/or glomerulonephritis. 28% of the p-ANCA positive sera reacted with myeloid lysosomal enzymes.
