Studies have shown that nonspecific interstitial pneumonitis (NSIP), even when initially diagnosed as an idiopathic form of the disease, might be associated with an autoimmune background that later reveals itself as an organ-specific or a systemic autoimmune disease.

Acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonitis (AFOP) is an uncommon variant of acute lung injury, characterized by intra-alveolar fibrin and organizing pneumonia. Proposed etiologies include connective tissue diseases, infections, occupational exposure, drug reactions, and autoimmune disease.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is the most common systemic inflammatory, Auto immune Rheumatic disease of unknown etiology. Although the precise aetiology of RA remains unknown, there is strong evidence for autoimmunity, The present study is to evaluate the significance of AntiCCP antibodies in Rheumatoid Arthritis and to compare it with other Connective Tissue Disorders (CTD including SLE, and Osteo Arthritis (OA) and in Healthy Blood Donors as Control.

Autoimmune diseases occur in 3–5% of the population as a result of myriad of genetic and environmental factors that lead to altered immune reactivity. The alterations in the immune system initiated by a loss of immunological tolerance to self-antigens lead to the development of autoreactive phenomena that can be detected in the peripheral blood. The present study was undertaken to detect the Extractable Nuclear Antibodies present in the study population. This study was conducted for a period of 1 year in 100 patients attending Rheumatology department.

Immunity seems to be a fascinating system in the human body, whose role has never been understood in detail, despite the great progress in our knowledge about its role, regulation and its disorders. The same goes for autoimmunity diseases as well as antiphospholipid antibodies presence and antiphospholipid syndrome. Due to humoral nature of these autoantibodies they can impact every tissue and due to their heterogeneity and complex actions they can be connected with wide spectrum of clinical manifestations.

Palpable purpura are further subdivided into vasculitic and embolic. In the group of vasculitic disorders, cutaneous small-vessel vasculitis, also known as leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV), is the one most commonly associated with palpable purpura (Chap. 319). Underlying etiologies include drugs (e.g., antibiotics), infections (e.g., hepatitis C virus), and autoimmune connective tissue diseases. Henoch-Schönlein purpura is a subtype of acute LCV that is seen primarily in children and adolescents following an upper respiratory infection.

Becoming less common. Poikiloderma is a term used to describe a patch of skin with (1) reticulated hypo- and hyperpigmentation, (2) wrinkling secondary to epidermal atrophy, and (3) telangiectasias. Poikiloderma does not imply a single disease entity—although becoming less common, it is seen in skin damaged by ionizing radiation as well as in patients with autoimmune connective tissue diseases, primarily dermatomyositis (DM), and rare genodermatoses (e.g., Kindler syndrome). In scleroderma, the dilated blood vessels have a unique configuration and are known as mat telangiectasias.

Episcleritis This is an inflammation of the episclera, a thin layer of connective tissue between the conjunctiva and sclera. Episcleritis resembles conjunctivitis but is a more localized process and discharge is absent. Most cases of episcleritis are idiopathic, but some occur in the setting of an autoimmune disease. Scleritis refers to a deeper, more severe inflammatory process, frequently associated with a connective tissue disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus erythematosus, polyarteritis nodosa, Wegener's granulomatosis, or relapsing polychondritis.
