This chapter summarizes the fi ndings of recent studies relating to the pathogenesis of systemic vasculitis, and considers HSP, KD, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs)-associated vasculitis, polyarteritis nodosa and Takayasu arteritis (TA). The common features between this murine model and the human disease include an infectious trigger leading to immune activation; disease susceptibility in the young; a time course similar to that seen clinically in KD; similar pathology of coronary arteritis; and response to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment [ 55 ] . Additional data TNF-a -308A associated with increased intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) resistance [ 82 ] Interleukin-10 (IL10) IL-10 gene promoter polymorphisms in fl uence risk of CAA [ 82 ] Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor (KDR)	./cache/cord-017161-lcqrd4v0.txt	./txt/cord-017161-lcqrd4v0.txt
