Polyarteritis nodosa and extrahepatic manifestations of HBV infection: the case against autoimmune intervention in pathogenesis

Journal of Autoimmunity
C Trépo, L Guillevin

Abstract

Numerous extrahepatic manifestations have been reported in patients with both acute and chronic hepatitis B (arthralgias or arthritis, skin rashes, glomerulonephritis and neuritis), all of which are present in polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) which is the most unique and spectacular extrahepatic manifestation. In the 1970s, the frequency of PAN due to the hepatitis B (HBV) reached 30%. Immunization programs explain the decrease and it is now down to 7%. PAN usually occurs within 6 months of infection. Clinical manifestations reflect this most classic form of PAN, Hepatic manifestations including, ALT/AST elevations are mild and usually overlooked. Besides HBV, other viruses may be responsible for cases of vasculitides including PAN, HIV, Parvovirus B19, and EBV. Different pathogenic mechanisms have been identified but immune complexes are mainly thought to be responsible. In glomerulonephritis, detailed immunostaining and ultrastructural findings indicate that HBe antigen (Ag) is more likely to be the responsible antigen. In PAN, fewer reports are available and early studies with poorly defined antibodies need to be revisited. Interestingly almost all cases of HBV/PAN are associated with wild-type HBV infection, characterised by HBe ...Continue Reading
