Preferred Label : immune complex diseases;
MeSH definition : Group of diseases mediated by the deposition of large soluble complexes of antigen
and antibody with resultant damage to tissue. Besides SERUM SICKNESS and the ARTHUS
REACTION, evidence supports a pathogenic role for immune complexes in many other IMMUNE
SYSTEM DISEASES including GLOMERULONEPHRITIS, systemic lupus erythematosus (LUPUS
ERYTHEMATOSUS, SYSTEMIC) and POLYARTERITIS NODOSA.;
MeSH synonym : hypersensitivities, type iii; immune complex disease; disease, immune complex; type iii hypersensitivities; diseases, immune complex; type iii hypersensitivity; hypersensitivity, type iii;
MeSH annotation : dis caused by deposition of antigen-antibody complexes with resultant damage to tissue;
immune complex IMMUNE COMPLEX see ANTIGEN-ANTIBODY COMPLEX; disease caused by deposition of antigen-antibody complexes with resultant damage to
tissue; immune complex IMMUNE COMPLEX see ANTIGEN-ANTIBODY COMPLEX;
