PAN is a very uncommon disease and a rare form of vasculitis. Population prevalence estimates for polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) range from 2 to 33 per million across the European Countries [1] and the annual incidence in three regions of Europe was estimated to be 4.4 to 9.7 per million [2].
PAN is commoner in men than women at a predominance rate of 1.5: 1 [3]. It occurs in all ethnic groups. Most cases of PAN occur in the 5th to 6th decade of life. It can also occur in children although this form of presentation is very rare. PAN has been associated with hepatitis B virus infection.
