AB  - Vasculitis  is  an  immune-mediated  disorder  directed  against  blood  vessels,  which  results  in  ischemia  to  end  organs  supplied  by  the  affected  blood  vessels.1–5  The  vasculitides  can  be  distinguished  and  classified  based  on  at  least  three  nosologic  categories.  They  can  be  differentiated  based  on  the  caliber  of  vessel  involved  (i.e.,  small,  medium,  or  large  vessel).  They  can  be  distinguished  on  whether  the  disorder  is  primary  [e.g.,  polyarteritis  nodosa  (PAN),  microscopic  polyangiitis  (MPA),  granulomatosis  with  polyangiitis  (GAN,  formerly  known  as  Wegener  granulomatosis),  and  Churg–Strauss  syndrome  (CSS)]  or  secondary  to  other  systemic  disorders  (e.g.,  connective  tissue  disease,  malignancy,  infection,  or  drug  reaction).  Furthermore,  the  vasculitides  can  be  separated  based  on  whether  they  are  systemic  or  isolated  to  the  peripheral  nervous  system  (PNS),  and  if  associated  with  antineutrophil  cytoplasmic  antibodies  (ANCAs)  (Table  15-1).2,3  Vasculitis  is  much  more  common  in  adults  but  can  develop  in  children.6
