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.

The Lancet, 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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Management of systemic vasculitis
Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology, 2001The systemic vasculitides are a wide-ranging group of diseases that are characterized by the presence of blood vessel inflammation. Despite this common feature, each type of vasculitis has a unique variety of clinical manifestations that influences its degree of disease severity and ultimately its management.

Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology, 2017
Vasculitides are characterized by inflammation of the vessel wall. Most of the vasculitides tend to occur in vessels of a specific size and certain target organs. In this review, we discuss each specific childhood vasculitis according to the latest Chapel Hill Consensus Conference 2012 nomenclature system and the Ankara 2008 classification criteria. We
