Infections and systemic vasculitis
Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 1998Bacterial infections can clinically mimic a primary vasculitic syndrome and can directly cause a vasculitis that may respond to prompt recognition and treatment of the infection. Increasing direct and indirect evidence is establishing links between certain infections and vasculopathies, including aortitis, atherosclerosis, and Wegener's granulomatosis.

Epidemiology of systemic vasculitis
Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2023Purpose of review Epidemiology of vasculitides exhibit geographic variation and data from some parts of the world are still scarce. Increased recognition of these rare diseases and improvement in diagnosis and patient care may lead to changes in their epidemiology.

Imaging in systemic vasculitis
Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2015Imaging is becoming a relevant tool for the assessment of patients with systemic vasculitis. This review focuses on recently generated data with potential clinical impact in the diagnosis, evaluation of disease extent and management of systemic vasculitis.Temporal artery examination by color duplex ultrasonography (CDUS) is a valuable approach to the ...

Lancet, The, 1997
The pathology of vasculitis involves inflammation and necrosis of blood-vessel walls. The clinical expression depends on the site, type, and size of involved vessels, and the severity of the associated inflammatory features. The first post-mortem macroscopic description of arteritis, thickened cord-like arteries with frequent nodular protrusions, is ...

Vasculitis of the nervous system
Current Opinion in Neurology, 2004Vasculitis refers to heterogeneous clinicopathologic disorders that share the histopathology of inflammation of blood vessels. When unrecognized and therefore untreated, vasculitis of the nervous system leads to pervasive injury and disability making this a disorder of paramount importance to all clinicians.Remarkable progress has been made in the ...

Vasculitis of the nervous system
Journal of Neurology, 2001Vasculitis is inflammation of the blood vessels, which may involve either the central nervous system (CNS), or the peripheral nervous system (PNS), or both. This involvement may be primary and restricted to the CNS, and rarely to the PNS."Primary angiitis of the CNS" is the term used to describe isolated CNS involvement by vasculitis, in which neither ...

Vasculitis and systemic infections
Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2006In recent years, many investigators have focused on potential associations between infections and vascular inflammation. We review the principal pathogenic mechanisms that have been implicated for possible roles in the vascular inflammation initiated by infectious agents.

Systemic necrotizing vasculitis
Cardiovascular Pathology, 1994Systemic necrotizing vasculitis may be idiopathic or associated with a variety of diseases of known etiology. A typical example is polyarteritis nodosa, which is characterized by fibrinoid necrosis and severe inflammation leading to destruction of the wall, narrowing of the lumen, and interference with blood circulation.

Autoantibodies in systemic vasculitis
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Medicine, 1991Abstract We have studied 495 sera that were referred to us from patients suspected on clinical and/or histological grounds to have a small vessel vasculitis. These sera were tested for antibodies against neutrophil cytoplasm antigens (anti‐neutrophil cytoplasm antibodies, ANCA) using assays based on neutrophil acid extract, myeloperoxidase and elastase.

Systemic vasculitis in childhood
Current Rheumatology Reports, 2009Systemic vasculitis is a group of disorders with multiorgan involvement. These disorders have diverse clinical manifestations associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The most common vasculitides in children--Henoch-Schönlein purpura and Kawasaki disease--are self-limiting conditions.
