Abstract

Most of the purported links between microbial agents and primary small-vessel anti-neutrophilic antibody-positive (ANCA) vasculitides remain speculative. There is strong circumstantial evidence for the role of Staphylococcus aureus in the development of Wegener’s granulomatosis, but its role in other ANCA-positive vasculitis syndromes is less clear. We describe a patient who developed a non-granulomatous, necrotizing small-vessel vasculitis with a positive anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody of a perinuclear type (p-ANCA), along with anti-myeloperoxidase antibodies after recurrent episodes of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
