“…Furthermore, various allergies are reported to be more common in patients with GPA (65). It is possible that infectious agents, such as parvovirus B19 and Staphylococcus aureus, may play a role through providing an antigenic primer especially since some relapses are associated with a preceding or concurrent infection (66,67). GPA has been observed in siblings and a higher frequency of certain human leukocyte antigen (HLA) markers (B2, B8, DR1, DR2 and DqW7) has been reported without a consistent relationship to the disease (68,69).…”

“…Several studies suggest an association of bacterial and viral infections with Wegener's granulomatosis. Case-control studies have recently excluded an association between parvovirus B19 infection and Wegener's granulomatosis [14]. However, serologic studies do not exclude subversion of the immune system by viruses or other infectious agents through other as yet unknown mechanisms in susceptible individuals.…”

“…Hepatitis B and C infection may cause polyarteritis-like vasculitis [37][38][39]. Parvovirus B19 has been suggested to be associated with vasculitis-like syndromes, including Kawasaki disease, polyarteritis nodosa, and Wegener's granulomatosis [40][41][42].…”

Infection, both bacterial and nonbacterial, may be associated with coagulation disorders, resulting in disseminated intravascular coagulation and multiorgan failure. In the last few decades a series of in vivo and in vitro studies has provided more insight into the pathogenetic mechanisms and the role of cytokines in these processes. Because of the growing interest in this field, the complexity of the subject, and the fact that many physicians must deal with a variety of infections, current data are reviewed on the association between infectious diseases and the coagulation system. Novel therapeutic intervention strategies that will probably become available in the near future are mentioned, along with those of special interest for infectious disorders for which only supportive care can be given.
