Abstract
Circulating autologous immune complexes are considered responsible for the vasculitis of systemic lupus erythematosus and of seropositive rheumatoid arthritis and appear to contribute to the vasculitis of one form of cryoglobulinemia. Complexes of virus and immunoglobulin probably cause half of the cases of polyarteritis nodosa.Keywords
