Intravenous immunoglobulin (IV-Ig) and aspirin are effective therapeutically, but in resistant cases, either steroid or infliximab have a role. Greater understanding of the pathogenetic mechanisms involved in these three types of vasculitis and better long-term follow-up data will lead to improved the...
vesselvasculitidessystemicvasculitidesautoimmunediseases'Polyarteritis nodosa' has been used as a generic term for different types of systemic vasculitis. The first major description of arteritis is attributed to Kussmaul and Maier (1866), who noted thickened, cord-like arteries with nodular protrusions ...

Immune mechanisms in medium and large-vessel vasculitis Vasculitis of the medium and large arteries, most often presenting as giant cell arteritis (GCA), is an infrequent, but potentially fatal, type of immune-m... CM Weyand,JJ Goronzy - 《Nature Reviews Rheumatology》 被引量: 174发表: 2013...
In the presence of vasculitis, endothelial swelling progressing to endarteritis obliterans can be visualized. Tabes dorsalis will show dorsal root and posterior spinal column demyelination.[13] History and Physical This review will focus on the manifestations of neurosyphilis; however, patients will ...
systemic vasculitisPolyarteritis nodosa (PAN) and Kawasaki's disease are primary systemic vasculitides with predominant medium-sized vessel involvement. PAN typically affects muscular arteries causing aneurysms (nodosa). There are no specific serological markers and diagnosis depends on clinical presentation,...

Most small and medium vessel vasculitides may involve the heart; however, the mode and incidence of cardiac involvement vary with the different vasculitic syndromes. This review describes the various cardiac manifestations of small and medium vessel vasculitis and the advantages of modern imaging ...
In addition, reports of medium-vessel vasculitis with SLE generally describe involvement of a single vessel bed. We report a rare case of extensive vasculitis involving medium-sized vessels in a patient with SLE. Our patient presented with classic signs and symptoms of SLE and satisfied a ...
Although large-vessel and medium-vessel vasculitis are uncommon amongst children, they are a complex and multisystem with a constantly evolving landscape. Increasing numbers of reports from low-income and middle-income countries are shaping our understanding of the epidemiology of vasculitis in children....
