Systemic vasculitis[6] - - +/- + - - Petechia, Purpura Anemia, Thrombocytosis ↑ - P-ANCA, C-ANCA, ANA Soft tissue swelling with mild erosions Focal regions of infarction or hemorrhage Multiple microaneurysms,Hemorrhage due to focal rupture, Occlusion in angiography Acute destruction of the media by neutrophils, with loss of elastic fibers Angiography Peripheral neuropathy, Livedo reticularis
Systemic sclerosis[7] - - +/- - - - 3 phases of (1) Edematous, (2) Indurative, and (3) Atrophic Thrombocytopenia ↑ Cell count < 25% PMNs (non-inflammatory) Hypergammaglobulinemia,

Polymyositis/dermatomyositis[8] - - +/- - - + Heliotrope rash, Gottron papules, Poikiloderma Normocytic normochromic anemia ↑ Predominantly mononuclear cells and large macrophage-like cells Anti–Mi-2 antibodies, Anti–Jo-1 antibodies, Creatine kinase, ANA Marginal erosions and periarticular calcification - - Vacuolar changes of the columnar epithelium and lymphocytic infiltrates Muscle biopsy Dysphagia 
Still's disease[9] - - +/- - +/- + Mild papules and nodules Anemia, Thrombocytosis ↑ High WBC count (5000-15,000/µL) with >50% of PMN leukocytes ANA, RF Soft tissue swelling,
