Abstract

It has been shown that irrespective of the primary focus of affliction, M. hominis-induced infection should be regarded as a systemic disease characterized by an immune-mediated inflammation which is contributed to by blood kallikrein-kinin system activation resulting in changes in the coagulative system and fibrinolysis until disseminated intravascular coagulation develops. This allows one to interpret in a new fashion the etiology of some diseases proceeding with signs of vasculitis.
