ABSTRACT

Os anticorpos anticitoplasma de neutrófilos são autoanticorps contra componentes neutrofílicos, úteis nos dianósticos diferenciais das vasculites. A imunofluorescência indireta determina três padrões de fluorescência: citoplasmático (cANCA), específico para granulomatose de Wegener; perinuclear (pANCA), observado na síndrome de Churg-Strauss, poliangiite microscópica e em outras vasculites; o terceiro padrão, atípico (aANCA), ocorre na doença de Crohn, colite ulcerativa e em outras doenças. O objetivo deste artigo é abordar os pontos importantes para a correta valorização dos achados da pesquisa de ANCAs, que possa auxiliar o clínico nos diagnósticos das síndromes vasculíticas. Os autores descutem a importância dos padrões de fluorescência, sua correlação antigênica e a possível significação clínica do ANCA positivo.


Antineutrophil cytoplasmatic antibodies (ANCA) are autoantibodies against components of neutrophils, and they help with the identification of different forms of vasculitis. The ANCA pattern, determined by indirect immunofluorescence, can be either cytoplasmatic (cANCA), which are predominantly associated sith Wegener's granulomatosis; or perinuclear (PANCA) are more likely seen in mocroscopic polyangiitis, Churg-Strauss syndrome and other vasculitides. The third pattern is atypical (aANCA) and it's reported in patients with ulcerative colitis, in patients with Crohn's disease and other illnesses. The present article seeks to make an approach on the most important points to be considered in the analyses and evaluation of ANCA test that might help the physician on diagnostic of vasculitis diseases. Authors discuss the importance of these immunofluorescence patterns, the antigen's correlation and the probably clinical significance of ANCA positive.
