Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Pulmonary vascular inflammation may be seen in a variety of primary lung diseases and in the setting of numerous systemic illnesses. This article reviews those entities in which pulmonary vasculitis represents a central feature of the pathologic process (Wegener's granulomatosis, Churg-Strauss syndrome, and pulmonary capillaritis). In addition, features of pulmonary involvement in other systemic vasculitides (Giant Cell Arteritis, Takayasu's Arteritis, and Behçet's disease) are described. Finally, general principles for the treatment of vasculitis are reviewed. |
