Popis: Patients with cytoplasmatic (c)-ANCA positive vasculitis and crescentic glomerulonephritis (n=25) had similar clinical presentation, age, sex distribution, organ involvement, therapy requirements, and outcome as patients with perinuclear (p)-ANCA positive vasculitis and crescentic glomerulonephritis (n=7). Therefore, we conclude that these two entities are very closely related or even the same disease.
