AB The  vasculitides  are  a  heterogeneous  group  of  systemic  inflammatory  disorders  characterized  by  inflammation  of  blood  vessels.1  Vascular  inflammation  may  cause  vessel  narrowing  or  occlusion  leading  to  tissue  ischemia  or  infarction,  or  may  result  in  vessel  rupture  with  subsequent  hemorrhage.  These  effects  underlie  the  significant  morbidity  and  mortality  associated  with  the  vasculitides.
