The effect of various forms of treatment of vasculitis on C3, C4 and C5a complement levels in infants and children attending Assiut University Children Hospital (AUCH) by Fatthi Dalal Abdullah

“…Immune cell infiltrates involve the presence of leukocytes in the vessel with immune-complex deposition, which implies the activation of the complement system and then the swelling and destruction of vessel mural structures. The lumen is narrowed or occluded leading to ischemia and necrosis (Chimenti et al., 2015). …”
