SECTION 5 Vasculitic diseases and syndromes and related disordersCHAPTER 20 Approach to the diagnosis of vasculitis in adult patients; CHAPTER 21 Vasculitis in infancy, childhood, and adolescence; CHAPTER 22 Assessment of disease activity and damage; CHAPTER 23 Giant cell arteritis and polymyalgia rheumatica; CHAPTER 24 Takayasu's arteritis; CHAPTER 25 Polyarteritis nodosa; CHAPTER 26 Microscopic polyangiitis; CHAPTER 27 Cutaneous polyarteritis; CHAPTER 28 Kawasaki's disease; CHAPTER 29 Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's granulomatosis): pathogenesis. CHAPTER 30 Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's granulomatosis): clinical and immunodiagnostic aspectsCHAPTER 31 Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's granulomatosis): treatment; CHAPTER 32 Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Churg-Strauss syndrome); CHAPTER 33 Vasculitis in primary connective tissue diseases; CHAPTER 34 Beh�cet's syndrome: pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and treatment; CHAPTER 35 Juvenile Beh�cet's syndrome; CHAPTER 36 Vasculitis of the central nervous system; CHAPTER 37 Thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger's disease). CHAPTER 38 Cutaneous small-vessel vasculitisCHAPTER 39 IgA vasculitis (Henoch-Sch�onlein purpura); CHAPTER 40 Cryoglobulinaemic vasculitis; CHAPTER 41 Miscellaneous forms of vasculitis; CHAPTER 42 Experimental therapies for vasculitis; SECTION 6 Mimickers of vasculitis; CHAPTER 43 Antiphospholipid syndrome; CHAPTER 44 Imitators of vasculitis; Index.
The third edition of this definitive and highly-regarded reference work provides a comprehensive review of vasculitis, a fascinating array of life-threatening and minor conditions caused by inflammatory syndromes and diseases that affect the blood vessels. The text uniquely brings together concepts from both the biological and clinical aspects of vasculitis. Research in clinical immunology now invigorates the entire area of vasculitis and shapes a rational approach to pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment, which is the substance of this text. Over 40 chapters cover known vasculitic conditions, and are illustrated with over 250 full-colour photographs of clinical and pathologic findings, diagrams, and tables.
