Overview
Vasculitis means inflammation of a blood vessel. Vasculitis is classified based on the size of vessels which are involved. Large sized-vessel vasculitis mostly happens in major vessels of the body, such as Takayasu's Arteritis and temporal Arteritis. Medium sized-vessel vasculitis includes Kawasaki's Disease and Polyarteritis Nodosa. Small sized-vessel vasculitis commonly manifests as skin lesions and includes Churg-Strauss Syndrome, leukocytoclastic vasculitis, Henoch-Schonlein Purpura, and Wegener's Granulomatosis. Variable sized-vessel vasculitis are Sjogren syndrome and Cogan syndrome. Single organ vasculitis is basically primary central nervous system angiitis. As the affected vessels are vary in size, the affected organs could be different among patients which leads to different disease presentation and severities. This spectrum of diseases could be primary or secondary to another conditions like sepsis. A high degree of level of suspicious is necessary when encounter a patients with appropriate clinical manifestation to lead to final diagnosis. Diagnosis is based on a combination of clinical scenario, lab findings, and imaging findings. Although the definite diagnostic modality is tissue biopsy and microscopic findings. The diseases course could be acute although they usually presents with constitutional symptoms and chronic progression. Treatment of vasculitis depends on the disease severity consists of applying immunosuppressant agents to induce the remission and maintain the the disease course under control.

Differentiating Vasculitis from Other Diseases
- As vasculitis manifests in a variety of clinical forms, differentiation must be established in accordance with the particular subtype.
- Large-sized vessel vasculitis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause major vessels inflammation, such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and fibromuscular dysplasia.
- Medium-sized vessel vasculitis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause visceral vessels vasculitis, such as segmental arterial mediolysis and toxic epidermal necrolysis.
- Small-sized vessel vasculitis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause capillary inflammation and skin lesions, such as diffuse intravascular coagulation and immune thrombocytopenic purpura.
- Single organ vasculitis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause neurovascular disorder, such as eclampsia and histoplasmosis.
