       ANCA vasculitis:
       [quote][font=Roboto]ANCA vasculitis is an autoimmune disease
       affecting small blood vessels in the body. It is caused by
       autoantibodies called ANCAs, or

       dies.
       ANCAs target and attack a certain kind of white blood cells
       called neutrophils. They target a part of neutrophils called the
       cytoplasm (the inside of the cell.)[/font][/quote]
