AB  - Vasculitis  is  a  clinicopathologic  process  characterized  by  inflammation  of  and  damage  to  blood  vessels.  The  vessel  lumen  is  usually  compromised,  and  this  is  associated  with  ischemia  of  the  tissues  supplied  by  the  involved  vessel.  A  broad  and  heterogeneous  group  of  syndromes  may  result  from  this  process,  since  any  type,  size,  and  location  of  blood  vessel  may  be  involved.  Vasculitis  and  its  consequences  may  be  the  primary  or  sole  manifestation  of  a  disease;  alternatively,  vasculitis  may  be  a  secondary  component  of  another  disease.  Vasculitis  may  be  confined  to  a  single  organ,  such  as  the  skin,  or  it  may  simultaneously  involve  several  organ  systems.
