Systemic Polyarteritis Nodosa

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a rare systemic necrotizing vasculitis predominantly affecting the medium-sized arteries with widely variable presenting features, disease course, and outcomes. Recent updates regarding the nomenclature of PAN have resulted in the description of several PAN sub-phenotypes. Herein discussed are idiopathic PAN, Hepatitis B-associated PAN and monogenic disorders such as adenosine deaminase-2 deficiency. The current understanding of the pathogenesis, histopathological features, and treatment of these conditions are reviewed.
