Eighty-six patients with different versions of systemic vasculitis were examined for rheological blood properties and some immunologic characteristics. The relationship between the formation of immune complexes and disorders of rheological characteristics and cell aggregation was established with emphasis on the necessity of correcting these disorders by anticoagulants and deaggregating agents for the treatment of patients with systemic vasculitis to be successful.
