Drug induced vasculitis

Abstract

130 cases of vasculitis have been classified as secondary to known or unknown events. 48 of these cases have been studied by a multidisciplinary approach (immunological, histological, and arteriographic) in which, by means of the computer, homogeneous groups could be picked out. By way of example, 6 cases of drug-induced vasculitis are described and discussed; these are good spontaneous models for the study of this pathology.
