What can you tell me about vasculitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They are rare but...: Vasculitis stands for vessel inflammation. They are different types, and depending of which vessel are they affecting they would affect different organs and tissues. Fortunately they are very rare what we called primary vasculitis but unfortunately difficult to diagnose, some of them difficult to treat and others can be even fatal if not recognize on time. See a rheumatologist for more info.
