Vasculitis is an inflammation of the blood vessels and can manifest itself as rheumatic complaints, problems in the eye or ENT area, as well as skin changes. Patients usually have to go a long way before a definitive diagnosis is made. Vasculitides develop very multifaceted clinical pictures, which requires the involvement of doctors from almost all specialities. In this book, specialists with many years of experience in the care of vasculitis patients explain in detail the methods for recognising, treating and monitoring the various types of vasculitis. It becomes clear that treatment today is customised for each patient depending on the severity and extent of the disease. For this new edition, this guide has been expanded and completely revised to include several chapters on topics such as nutrition and exercise therapy.
