Systemic necrotizing vasculitis

Cardiovascular Pathology, 1994
Systemic 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.

Systemic immune‐inflammation index could estimate the cross‐sectional high activity and the poor outcomes in immunosuppressive drug‐naïve patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody‐associated vasculitis

Nephrology, 2019
We investigated whether systemic immune‐inflammation index (SII) at diagnosis can estimate the cross‐sectional high activity and predict the poor outcomes in immunosuppressive drug‐naïve patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody‐associated ...

Mortality in systemic necrotizing vasculitides: A retrospective analysis of the French Vasculitis Study Group registry.

Autoimmunity Reviews, 2018
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to describe the evolution of mortality and cause-specific mortality over time in patients with systemic necrotizing vasculitides (SNV), including polyarteritis nodosa (PAN), granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA ...

Cutaneous vasculitis in rheumatologic disease: Current concepts of skin and systemic manifestations.

Clinical Dermatology, 2018
Cutaneous vasculitis may be limited to the skin, a manifestation of systemic vasculitis, or a sign of an important underlying disease state. A thorough and systematic approach is required for accurate diagnosis and evaluation of such patients to enable ...

Systemic Vasculitis

2012
Abstract The vasculitides are a group of disorders that are characterized by the presence of inflammation in vessel walls, which leads to vascular occlusion and tissue necrosis. Systemic vasculitic syndromes can present clinically in protean fashion and may be due to a variety of mechanisms involving immune dysregulation that leads to ...

[Systemic vasculitis].

Revista portuguesa de cirurgia cardio-toracica e vascular : orgao oficial da Sociedade Portuguesa de Cirurgia Cardio-Toracica e Vascular, 2004
This paper is dedicated to a general and synthetic review of a large and heterogeneous group of diseases, entitled "Systemic Vasculites". Despite its rarity in clinical practice, they can be severe and even fatal, if a proper diagnosis and adequate treatment is not made.

Central nervous system vasculitis

Neurological Sciences, 2003
Vasculitis 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, 1998
Bacterial 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, 2006
In 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.
