Abstract
It is generally accepted that arteriosclerosis is a polyaetiologic and presumably polypathogenetic disease caused by a combination of individually different factors. From the considerable amount of informations obtained in the last 10–15 years, it seems likely that allergic and autoimmune processes may also play a role in the chain of events leading to the atheromatous vascular changes (Gerő, 1969; Gerő and Székely, 1974; Mathews et al.,1974).
