A member asked:
Does a cure exist for polyarteritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Polyarteritis nodosa is a type of vasculitis (blood vessel inflammation) that is often fatal if untreated. Fortunately, medicines exist that can control the symptoms and the disease can go into remission. However, that is not a cure.
