A Review of Primary Vasculitis Mimickers Based on the Chapel Hill Consensus Classification. Int J Rheumatol 2020; 2020:8392542. [PMID: 32148510 PMCID: PMC7049422 DOI: 10.1155/2020/8392542] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2019] [Accepted: 01/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Primary systemic vasculitides are rare diseases that may manifest similarly to more commonly encountered conditions. Depending on the size of the vessel affected (large vessel, medium vessel, or small vessel), different vasculitis mimics must be considered. Establishing the right diagnosis of a vasculitis mimic will prevent unnecessary immunosuppressive therapy.
