    Journal: Acta Otolaryngol Suppl; 1994; 511():204-7. PubMed ID: 8203230.
    Abstract:
    The incidence and titer of ANCA were examined with 871 sera from patients with otorhinolaryngological diseases at our hospital. The cytoplasmic pattern of ANCA (c-ANCA) whose titer was more than 16 was detected only in the sera of patients with Wegener's granulomatosis (WG). The incidence of c-ANCA in active WG was more than 90%. The perinuclear staining pattern of ANCA (p-ANCA) was detected in almost 40% of patients with Sjögren's syndrome, 2.0% of inflammatory diseases and 1.0% of tumorous diseases. A high diagnostic value of c-ANCA in WG was found in patients with otorhinolaryngological diseases.
