Central nervous system vasculitis
Neurological Sciences, 2003Vasculitis is an inflammation of the vessel wall. It may be either primary or secondary. Primary vasculitis includes systemic vasculitis (large, medium, and small-vessel vasculitis) and localized vasculitis (isolated angiitis of the central nervous system and non-systemic vasculitic neuropathy).

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

Central Nervous System Vasculitis
Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2013A patient presenting with suspected primary central nervous system (CNS) vasculitis is often difficult to manage. Once the diagnosis is suspected, the clinical course may already be severe and warrant timely aggressive treatment with potentially toxic drugs.

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.

Epidemiology of systemic vasculitis
Current Rheumatology Reports, 2005The systemic vasculitides are heterogeneous conditions of unknown etiology characterized by inflammation and necrosis of different sized blood vessels. Wegener's Granulomatosis, microscopic polyangiitis, and Churg Strauss syndrome are associated with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies and affect small and medium blood vessels. They are very rare in

Clinical and experimental rheumatology, 1993
The systemic vasculitides are comparatively rare but important disorders of childhood. Apart from Henoch-Schönlein purpura, which is the commonest example in paediatric practice, Kawasaki disease is most often encountered. Polyarteritis and Wagener's granulomatosis have a lower incidence but are associated with a high morbidity and mortality.
