In this article, we describe the pitfalls of antibody and immunological tests, and diagnostic approaches to critically ill patients with autoimmune diseases and systemic vasculitis. Autoimmune diseases including systemic vasculitis are not always defined based on the presence of autoantibodies alone. The presence of an autoantibody is not a requisite for the diagnosis of Takayasu arteritis, polyangitis nodosa or giant cell arteritis, while substantial numbers of antibody-positive patients are not diagnosed with rheumatic diseases. Rheumatic diseases and systemic vasculitis are characterized by various systemic manifestations and organ damage. Therefore, in individual patients, efforts to address pathological conditions based on regular blood tests and to exclude other conditions are the primary goals to finally reach a definitive diagnosis of rheumatic diseases and systemic vasculitis.
