|| '''[[Granulomatous with polyangiitis]] (Wegener's granulomatosis)'''. Systemic vasculitis of medium and small arteries, including venules and arterioles. Produces granulomatous inflammation of the respiratory tracts and necrotizing, pauci-immune glomerulonephritis. Most common cause of saddle nose deformity in USA (nose flattened due to destruction of nasal septum by granulomatous inflammation). Almost all patients with Wegener's have [[antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody|c-ANCA]], but not vice versa.
'''[[Churg-Strauss syndrome|Churg-Strauss arteritis]]'''. Affects medium and small vessels with vascular and extravascular granulomatosis. Classically involves arteries of lungs and skin, but may be generalized. The triad [[asthma]], [[eczema]] and renal abnormalities (e.g., red blood cell casts in urine) should raise suspicion, calling for an [[eosinophil]] count. Eosinophilia, with this clinical presentation, is grounds for a preliminary diagnosis, but immunologic confirmation is needed.
'''[[Microscopic polyangiitis|Microscopic polyarteritis/polyangiitis]]'''. Affects capillaries, venules, or arterioles. Thought to be part of a group that includes granulomatous polyangiitis since both are associated with [[antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody|ANCA]] and similar extrapulmonary manifestations. Patients do not usually have symptomatic or histologic respiratory involvement.<ref name="pmid16876669">{{cite journal| author=Bosch X, Guilabert A, Font J| title=Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies. | journal=Lancet | year= 2006 | volume= 368 | issue= 9533 | pages= 404-18 | pmid=16876669

|| Treatment depends on whether the goal is to induce remission or maintenance and depends on severity of the vasculitis.<ref name="pmid17684188">{{cite journal |author=Bosch X, Guilabert A, Espinosa G, Mirapeix E |title=Treatment of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody associated vasculitis: a systematic review |journal=JAMA |volume=298 |issue=6 |pages=655-69 |year=2007 |pmid=17684188 |doi=10.1001/jama.298.6.655}}</ref>

| valign="top"|'''Immune complex'''<br/>
These vasculitides are associated with [[immune complex]]es. With partial exception from microscopic polyangiitis, are associated with dermatological manifestations.<ref name="pmid9366584">{{cite journal| author=Jennette JC, Falk RJ| title=Small-vessel vasculitis. | journal=N Engl J Med | year= 1997 | volume= 337 | issue= 21 | pages= 1512-23 | pmid=9366584 | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=clinical.uthscsa.edu/cite&email=badgett@uthscdsa.edu&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=9366584 }}</ref>
With the exception of [[Henoch-Schonlein purpura]], serum levels of [[complement system protein]]s may be low in these vasculitides.
||  '''[[Henoch-Schonlein purpura]]''' (HSP). Systemic vasculitis due to tissue deposition of IgA-containing immune complexes. This is the most common vasculitis in children.
