- There is a wide variety of clinical presentations.<\/li>\n
- is associated with systemic<\/span> vasculitis in a minority of patients<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
In most cases, no underlying cause is found and the disease is self-limited.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Who gets cutaneous vasculitis?<\/span><\/h2>\nCutaneous vasculitis can affect people of all ages and races. Some types of vasculitis have a predilection<\/span> for certain age groups.<\/p>\n\n- \n
Acute hemorrhagic edema affects infants.<\/li>\n
- \n
Henoch\u2013Scheither<\/span>nlein purpura affects children<\/li>\n- \n
Hypersensitivity vasculitis affects adults<\/li>\n
- Older people are more likely to have diseases and medications that are potential causes of small vessel vasculitis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>What causes vasculitis?<\/span><\/h2>\nMany different insults can cause an identical inflammatory<\/span> answer within blood vessel<\/span> wall. Three main mechanisms are proposed.<\/p>\n\n- Direct injury to the vessel wall by bacteria<\/span> or virus\n<\/li>\n
- Indirect injury due to activation of antibodies<\/span>\n<\/li>\n
- Indirect injury due to activation of complement<\/span>, a group of proteins in the blood and tissue fluids that attack infections and foreign bodies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>What are the clinical features of vasculitis?<\/span><\/h2>\nThe clinical presentation of cutaneous vasculitis depends mainly on the size of the inflamed blood vessel.<\/p>\n
\n- \n
Capillaritis presents as pigmented purpura, characterized by petechiae<\/span> solving with hemosmosin<\/span> statement<\/span>.<\/li>\n- Small vessel vasculitis is characterized by palpable<\/span> purple.<\/li>\n
- Mid-vessel vasculitis is associated with nodules<\/span> and livedo<\/span> reticularis<\/li>\n
- Large-vessel vasculitis infrequently produces cutaneous features.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

<\/span>How is cutaneous vasculitis diagnosed?<\/span><\/h2>\nThe diagnosis of vasculitis can often be made based on its appearance without requiring further testing. sometimes a skin biopsy<\/span> it is done to confirm the diagnosis, but this rarely explains what caused it, as vasculitis is the common endpoint of many different events.<\/p>\nScreening tests are required in most cases of vasculitis to identify any underlying cause and determine the extent of internal organ involvement.<\/p>\n
<\/span>What is the treatment for vasculitis?<\/span><\/h2>\nTreatment depends on the severity of the disease and may include general measures, systemic corticosteroids, and immunomodulatory agents.<\/p>\n
If the cutaneous vasculitis is a manifestation of systemic vasculitis, then treatment of the systemic disorder is required.<\/p>\n
<\/span>What is the prognosis for cutaneous vasculitis?<\/span><\/h2>\nVasculitis limited to the skin has a good forecast<\/span> and most cases resolve over a period of weeks to months. Vasculitis may recur at variable intervals after the initial episode.<\/p>\nThe prognosis of systemic vasculitis is dependent<\/span> on the seriousness of the involvement of other organs. If vasculitis affects the kidneys, lungs, or brain, it can be fatal.<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Que es cut\u00e1neo vasculitis?
