A new study published in Rheumatology Advances in Practice explores VEXAS syndrome, a condition that can mimic different phenotypes of ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). The study, conducted at Sinai Hospital Baltimore, reviewed the clinical features of VEXAS and added three new cases to the existing literature. The most common findings in VEXAS cases were pulmonary infiltrates, skin involvement, ocular manifestations, and renal involvement. The researchers concluded that VEXAS should be considered in atypical AAV presentations and further studies are needed to understand the immunologic basis for an AAV phenotype within VEXAS.
