Recently published findings suggested that antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA), particularly those with a cytoplasmic (C-ANCA) labelling pattern and targeting proteinase 3 (anti-PR3), might be markers of tuberculosis (TB). This is a critical issue, because C-ANCA/anti-PR3 were considered to be a highly specific hallmark of Wegener's granulomatosis or microscopic polyangiitis and because TB may clinically mimic Wegener's granulomatosis. We therefore undertook a study with the aim of investigating further the prevalence and specificity of ANCA in TB.
