Mimickers of vasculitis. Part I. Large and medium vessel vasculitis mimickers: infections, non-genetic vasculopathy
Primary systemic vasculitides are well-defined nosological entities, but several diseases can mimic their clinical, laboratory, radiological and histological features. The first part of the article provides an overview of the mimickers of large and medium vessel vasculitis, which include infections and non-genetic vasculopathies. It is extremely important to make a diagnosis before starting therapy in order to avoid severe and even catastrophic consequences when treating patients with these complex diseases.
