Is Wegener’s granulomatosis caused by Autoimmune cross-targeting of h.pylori and polyomaviruses?

Autoimmune cross-targeting hypothesis

The layering of 2 different infections on one target triggering autoimmune disease.  A viral infection marking the inside of the target then a bacterial, or fungal, or mycobacteria infection marking the outside.

wegener's vs. churg-strauss (both anca positive) these are similar

Kawasaki: mycoplasmas  & hepatitis B (and EBV too?): medium blood vessels

Takayasu: mycobacteria & hepatitis B/ polyomaviruses : large blood vessels

Churg-stauss: aspergillus & hepatitis B/ polyomaviruses : small blood vessels

Is Wegener's: polyomaviruses and h.pylori or spirochetes? small blood vessels

H.pylori is not a spirochete but a relative of campylobacteria. (c. jejune and h.pylori can cause disease...are they similar to spirochetes in some ways?)

 Polyomaviruses (JC virus/sv40, BK, hepatitis B) update: use Vit D receptors

serotonin and Vit D are connected
https://mcdb.colorado.edu/courses/4790/Autism.pdf

if vitamin D levels go up because the Vit D receptors are gone then two things can happen:
 a huge increase of serotonin and hypercalcemia

vit D caused hypercalcemia in Wegener's

note that cocaine use can cause a condition like Wegener's granulomatosis
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0025619611631005

serotonin B1 receptors have been implicated in the pleasure effects of cocaine

splenic infraction caused by the drug triptan (serotonin)
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16767537

triptan is a serotonin antagonist that causes vasodilation by acting on serotonin B1
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15853772

splenic infractions are seen with Wegener's granulomatosis

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17889260
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10852290

odds are the spleen has serotonin B1 receptors too
