A group of patients has been identified with cutaneous necrotizing venulitis (vasculitis). These patients, some with concomitant connective tissue disorders, have skin lesions that separate them from the arteritis commonly described as rheumatoid vasculitis. HLA typing has been performed on 31 of these unrelated patients with cutaneous necrotizing venulitis, including 19 with associated chronic disorders. The antigen pair All,BW35 was found in 5 of these 19 patients and in 11 of 346 controls. This difference in frequency is statistically significant. Because HLA genes appear to be linked to immune response genes, these data suggest that such genes may exist in patients with this form of cutaneous necrotizing venulitis with associated connective tissue disease.

“…Biopsy of digital arteries had been carried out on a number of these patients (Cases 8,12,14,16,18,and 25) in connexion with an earlier study of brachial arteriography in rheumatoid arthritis (Scott et al, 1961 ;Laws et al, 1963). These all showed a bland intimal thickening, at times amounting to complete occlusion, as previously described.…”

“…Furthermore, post mortem studies carried out by Virtama (1959) sometimes showed obliteration and post-stenotic dilatation of the digital arteries with arterial dilatation near the bone erosions. Scott, Hourihane, Doyle, Steiner, Laws, Dixon, and Bywaters (1961), using brachial arteriography in selected rheumatoid patients showing manifestations suggestive of arterial disease, reported occlusion or distortion in digital arteries and confirmed the presence of intimal thickening by subsequent histological examination.…”
