Abstract
Vasculitis may be due to various causes, including connective tissue disorders, medications, and infections. Histopathology shows similar features in different diseases so DIF (direct immunofluorescence) helps to categorize these vasculitic lesions on basis of positivity of different immunoglobulins. In this study, 40 cases of suspected vasculitis were confirmed by histopathology. Females were more commonly affected and the age range was from 9 to 71 years. Among these cases, 21 were immune complex mediated vasculitis of which c3 and IgG were the most commonly found immunoglobulins. Two of these cases were IgA mediated vasculitis. DIF was of great importance for the diagnosis of the disease for appropriate treatment.
